What is your goal in real estate investing?
Mine was initially to build financial independence. I did that, but am still in the grind trying to build more wealth.
With full time work, grad school and a rental business, I'm wearing out. Last night I thought, what would my ideal life look like?
It was not buying more real estate and growing the business. It was mostly cashing out (not all though) and buying a homestead to live and farm on and take it easy.
Gave me a new perspective. Sometimes it's not about buying 100+ units, so much as having enough passive income to go live the life you want to live, in your limited time on this planet....

Come to Michigan! I just indulged myself by buying 6 acres for dirt cheap as a "present to self" with proceeds from a successful flip rather than reinvesting in a rental and we're going to build a nice homestead there so I can hug bunnies...I know exactly how you are feeling!!!
