My wife and I were shocked several years ago to find we were spending almost $1k/month eating out/drinks with friends.

The worse ones will get me back to 75 but the fees and rate eat up a big chunk of my savings, but they can close in 14-21 days.

Everyone’s got to eat and that is a great time to chat and learn.

@Rebecca E. at some point the mobile home will have little to no value.

Attorney fees might also eat up all your reserves if there are any....the downside I guess for them are that they are the majority owners today and if you get the second unit then you are 50/50 owners.   

In most situations you can't have your cake and eat it too.   

The property taxes alone were eating apart so much of the monthly payment (North Jersey has highest in nation) that I moved my down payment money into a rental property in west Jersey near PA.

Then there are ones with tons of junk fees to try and eat up every cent of your deposit even if reports do not make up the whole amount.

That's why many business have non-refundable deposit and cancellation fees.....hotels, airlines, doctors offices etc...... if you bail on me and I could have had another paying customer using my services at that time, then I'm not eating that lost revenue.... that's on you.If I got lucky enough to rent it out real quick I may refund the $$ just to avoid the hassle of dealing with them if they put up a fight.... otherwise they are on the hook for the booked time

At that rate property taxes eat up a whopping 33% of your total income.
