First property complete but need to vent

Long story short. Househacking a duplex, did about 50% of renovations, and it was the most stressful time of my life. Being that this was my first deal, there were a lot of things I didn’t anticipate. My primary job is as a nurse with long hour days amongst other things I prioritize like gym, reading, side hustles, etc. DIY took about 2 months and I got out of shape and felt as I wasn’t growing due to not reading/podcasts/studying medicine. I understand DIY can save money but my quality of life took a hit and I rather live my life stress free and do my daily activities. The money I can save does not triumph my quality of life. Therefore moving forward, I will outsource everything to professionals on my next properties. This is my vent. I am curious to know if anyone else has the felt/experienced the same?
