Give you the wherewithal to pursue and achieve your long-term goalsMany investors start off "too hot", and they either overdevelop their first property or they spend their money too fast - either of these behavior will stop you dead in your tracks, and you probably won't even be able to achieve your short-term goals - and you certainly won't have the resources to pursue your long-term goals.

I spend most of my time around Cleveland, but I've handled a few evictions in Medina Municipal Court too.I'd recommend following the posts and podcasts by @James Wise too.

I think i get what you are saying...here's my take:For pro-forma purposes, yes, absolutely include the capital reserves as that is what you "expect to spend" in worse case scenarioFor historical performance purposes, then, you can make an argument to NOT include it since you never spent the money, but unless you distributed that money back to your investor, then you may as well include it toothat's just how i would do it...

Than spend more money on the method that works and quit wasting money on math instead don't

Consider spending 30 minutes for 30 consecutive days on Bigger Pockets.

they just do not want to spend the time to monitor.  

Personally, I prefer to handle the entire tenant placement process myself for the following reasons:-nobody will care more than me-I have processes in place for all aspects of tenant placement (so I don't need to spend any time learning how to do it)-I like to meet all the prospective tenants in person (meeting in person vs. on paper or over the phone can be very important and effect your decision)Again, that is just my preference.  

I'm new to Bigger Pockets and I look forward to spending time on the site and learning as much as I can.I was wondering if someone can give me tips on where to locate properties for sale?
