Someone should write a book on me...

I want to buy a four-plex within the next month before school starts full-time again for me online. Do you think owning and managing 7 rental properties while doing school full time is too much to take on? Or not really... I'm not extremely book smart, so it usually takes me longer to complete assignments and get things done. I really don't want to pay a property management company, and I want to push myself and do more than I think I can do. Sometimes I wish I had a family member or close friend who could manage my properties while focusing on school while trying to acquire more properties. I hate managing, and I enjoy looking for deals and closing on them. I just closed on a duplex last month, and now I want to buy a fourplex in the next month or two. My family said, "I'm doing too much and moving too fast" I just get bored very easily after I close a deal, so all I can think about is when I will buy another deal. I suffer from severe depression and anxiety and OCD and ADHD, which makes me this way, very impulsive and risk-taking. I had Tourettes as a child, not that this really matters, I guess. I've noticed that what most people consider a risk or something very risky, I consider something fun to do and give a shot at, even if it could screw your whole life over. It's like I have a "**** it type of personality, and whatever happens, happens." I've been in and out of psych wards multiple times, I get highs from making money, and that's about it in life. If I'm not growing and making money, I'm dying inside; I get bored very easily as well. Wow, I basically wrote a short autobiography of myself and got off topic so fast. I BLAME IT ON THE ADHD!
