Depreciation is of more of concern if you hold for seven years or more - - the recapture spoils you profits and the end-game.I buy and sell on the Cash-on-Cash return and so do other buy-and-hold investors.There's lots of paper tigers but none of them put food on the table imo.

I specialized in loan documentation and took over a loan department that was in bad need of re-organization.

It might be tough to juggle it all at the beginning but I’m sure I’d pick it up pretty quick as I currently run quite large projects for my company so I’m very good at organizing my time, other trades, have a good idea of how long things take, how much it costs, etc..

Must be a privately organized estate?

Anyhow, would love to meet for coffee/drinks/food/etc. anywhere in DFW.While I write this, is there a local group that meet regularly? 

I'm happy to organize both an evening group (networking and a guest speaker) and a breakfast/coffee or lunch networking group.

She would have no money to budget for anything as rent and her current debt take up her entire monthly income, which does not include utilities or food or anything else.

There are lots of perks for sales positions, for example I have a company car with a gas card and an expense account to use for food etc during the week so these are huge expenses for most people that I don't have to worry about. 

We have a 36 bed ALF - Lower income - we figured out how to make money serving a market others do not like to serve -It's been rewarding We have GREAT people/staff now --- People are one of the most important aspectsAs for #'s - it really is a depends question as labor rates vary, state regs are going to vary on how you need to staff etc.Here's the order of our expenses monthly:Wages  (About 40-50% of revenue when we have a good month - fluctuates and this includes my salary which really at any other location may be a management fee etc - but wise to build something in)Principal and interest paymentFood  (When I bought the business Food was higher than P&I but we got it lowered by tweaking some things - I'm sure we could tweak it a little more but I'm not the type that wants to wring every drop of blood out of a turnip - some waste, loss etc is going to happen - I have cooks that take good care of the residents and they are happy which is what I care about)ElectricityAnyways wages by far and away are the largest expense item.I went down this path so am a bit biased I guess - but find a struggling business or an existing one for sale and find a way to buy it and then improve the operations. 

Before I started working at my organization, the CEO and her assistant received a proposal from the GC to repair the roof.
