I'm a personal trainer and exercise science professor and love what I do so I'll likely shift to a less stressful part-time schedule.

Not purely as an investment but also an exercise for my design and construction muscles.

I was referring to coming up with a monthly capex estimation, by amortizing different components of house by expected life.You may be misusing the word "amortize", or, perhaps, exercising some literary license and creating a confusing context in the process.A property's needs tend to increase over time.

But it is still good to go through the exercise of the analysis.  

@Joseph Salzillo is a great agent in CT and has exercised a similar model in this competitive market.

.: @Andrew Syrios and @Kim Tucker Thank you both for great advice in exercising caution when investing out of state.

And you can't tell them the insurance won't allow it because yes it they do the insurance allows a trampoline you can't just Swindle them and add things in it is against the law there is no loophole here they already signed the lease you never specified no trampolines that is all your fault on your end and you don't need insurance to have a trampoline understand that right now it's all you can do is learn from your mistake and next time if you don't want somebody renting from you that possibly could put a swing set or trampoline on your property then you need to put it in the lease not tell them anything if you tell them your insurance won't cover it then you are literally crossing a line where they can sue you if you add it into the next lease they can sue you this is something that should have been brought up since day one before they signed the lease to start with and understand if you're renting a house that backyard's not yours while they're renting it that is their backyard and as long as their backyard is picked up and not dirty or filthy and have a whole bunch of stuff all over the place especially if they have kids a trampoline is completely legal especially if it's got a net around it if it doesn't have a net around it then you can say you need to put a net around it that's the most you can do specially because of trampoline with a net around it is completely 100% legal and follows all guidelines unless they're older children like teenagers then they don't need a net around it I'll repeat this one more time legally if you are renting a home and you didn't specify since day one then there is nothing you can do now learn from that mistake and if you don't want nobody ever doing it again then you have to tell him in the lease not tell them to their face it has to be printed in their lease from day one and you can't just change the lease and say no trampolines on their next one nor can you kick them out for a trampoline as long as they're cleaning up all the toys and stuff that's not technically a toy so you understand that it's not a toy it falls under more of exercise machinery and you can't deny people that

People don't have an absolute right to live in a community without respect to the costs of the decision to exercise that right. 

Similarly, a good foundation in any subject matter, along with continued exercise / practice of that subject, should help to overcome the eventual changes that will come to pass.

Make sure to add all of these points to your checklist for reviewing properties and building PL's.Quick exercise lets evaluate your market.1.
