What did cause pain was a fire in 2013 - - circumstances beyond control - - but even then the MFU saved the day and was net positive all the while.btw: my fixed expenses are 30% and no where near the inflated $5k example shown.When I bought, I determined the fixed breakeven point as 70% occupancy and never suffered anything near that.When the UK exits the EU, Greece & Turkey collapse, THEN we will see issues hard to deal with.
