Too much eating for the past few days.

I understand wanting to leave early but I wouldn't want to do it with all my eggs in one basket.

My family lives a comfy life with eating out about 2-3 times a week and buying things if we need them but the debt excluding mortgage related eats about 47% or more of my monthly income. 

A blown hot water heater eats away three months rent. 

Obviously paying the other company to run the business for you will cut into margins just as going to a restaurant will always be more expensive than eating at home.

Not really using leverage; I'm okay with small potatoes based on my age, nest egg, and risk/reward profile.

It doesn't sound like you have much of a nest egg, no land lording experience while needing to borrow lots of money to purchase numerous properties that will provide minimal if any positive cash flow. 

Well Normally I’d say no but as long as you pay my 25$ pet deposit each month and agree to sign a paper stating your responsible if it eats anyone I’m cool with it 

Eat at the same restaurants each week.But leases can take a long time to turn over before they might need to go rent elsewhere.

Those 2 buckets eat up a lot...so it might take longer than we want to wait to come up with say $80k in cash for our next down payment plus some padding for expenses.Plus...if the house is cash flowing nicely with the refi loan and we have our separate savings account for the property funded well...we can always pay down debt with the extra.
