Woulda Shoulda Coulda allocated a bigger portion of my investments to cash flowing real estate when I first started out (2010).

I allocate 5% for CapEx, 5% for maintenance and 5% for vacancy.

We do the same and I think a lot of people who say they don't have money to invest don't realize that they do have the money... it's just being allocated to something other than investing. 

I allocated 133 in back rents owe but with the turn it can be used for snow removal or other misc expenses.

So does the pay roll.If you do the math, and you bother to allocate proper $ amounts to all of the line-items, you should realize that $500 is just not enough to cover all of the bases.

I know that every transaction in my management group is directly allocated to a property with a paper trail (literally every nickle of every transaction).Would that not make this an easier sell (to keep the assets in separate LLCs and run the transactions through a managmenet LLC).If the paper trails are strong, then wouldn't it work fine?

During the "Mastermind", deals and strategies are discussed, but 90% of the time is allocated about doing "preforeclosures".

The problem is that there constantly seems to be fees being charged to me an example of this is in the contract  there is an additional 100 dollars allocated to sewer and water that the tenant automatically pays every month with rent and anything outside of it should be billed to the customer (there is no specificed time when this will occur on the contract) but it appears to be billed to me and after speaking to IIP it's like they made up rule on the spot stating that after 6 months all of the additional utility fees would be billed to the customer and in the meantime I am being charged for it.

For example, all should look back to WWII and the broad powers the government used to allocate various resources.

Allocate as much existing debt as you can to the rentals, and take as much advantage as you can of the high standard deduction.Of corse, I’d say don’t pay any down at all and just buy more property- but if you’re committed to paying down mortgage, see above.
