Anyone have an overlying business with multiple business underneath (operations, sales/career income, prop mgmt, construction, etc)?

For maintenance and vacancies I always budget 10% of the income to make sure I have enough in reserve when needed.

But if I count in at a minimum the vacancy and maintenance/repair budget, like Nick mention, at a rate of 10% of income per year for each category per year, I would have a hard time cash flowing.

This way the income will be almost guaranteed, or even the hipster types of people, but I really would like personal types.

I have 7 income properties in management with them.
