I know that David Greene doesn't totally agree with this, but cash-flow plus conservative leverage is the ticket.

@Leo Kotschenreuther for big ticket items, I was taking those in account based on items projected from the inspection, which was about 7.5k over the next 2 years. 

That drive is about the same as a flight out of oak to the midwest lol...Side note, when I was a kid I was very confused why clear lake was full of NASTY green moss lol.

For every can of food you donate you get a ticket, many of the vendors give out tickets as well nd there is a drawing at the end of the night.  

A 3/1 will hardly rent and a 2/1 caps out around $750 no matter where it is.Rooms are the hot ticket right now.

, I recommend his 2 books/audio books Eat That Frog and Flight Plan.

I found a group of Uruguayans on line and I learned:Large ticket items are priced in US dollars.

Another factor is that the price per sqft actually goes up when you build smaller, as you still have the big-ticket items that cost more.

I'd almost say your logic is beyond faulty -- its dangerous.Rather -- and I would not say this applies to Dante, specifically -- but the habits we take going into a deal mean far more than the deal itself.You cannot make money if you cannot align your income and expenses properly.You cannot make money if you overspend/spend more than what you make.You cannot make money if you are undisciplined in financial and operational matters -- you may be able to show short profits, but I think long-term success is highly predicated on proper planning, forecasting, adjusting, and action.To me seeking out a profitable deal to "right the ship" is like buying an advanced set of lottery tickets.

You can also use capital expenditures (CapEx) for bigger-ticket items, such as a new roof or HVAC system, to deduct from your taxable income.
