Normally you need to find a bread and butter B class neighborhood to make money in real estate.

@Chris Seveney, it's confusing becuase you may not want to believe what I've stated assuming the NORMAL process of a closing happend. 

Normally the only time you get a number of repairs is during turnover.

I’ve had my fair share of obstacles, too, so hear me when I say this—it’s normal to feel stuck sometimes.

The price to get in is obviously TOUGH, but if you have a pile of cash to play with, it's hard to argue with or beat the long term results of the cities with the best job markets and lifestyle (for those who can afford it) in the world.

I strictly use them to trade into places I really want to go and I can never, ever beat the price I pay for a week as compared to normal rentals rates which are three to seven times higher per night.  

Bad snow (no snow or less snow than normal) = less bookings and lower rates due to decreased ski demand. 

The thing is, is this normal?

So if it's a slow time, and in the showing when the tenant ask, we would say if you sign a lease by this time we will throw in these items that's normally tenant's responsibility.  

I would say today 40-50% of your income goes towards normal operating expenses. 50% if you want to include replacement reserves which you should.
