Has the feeling gone?

[Alan Pederson]

We're closing on our 4th rental tomorrow. We've bought one each year since 2015. When we bought the first one I was so overwhelmed with excitement and terror that it was hard to sleep for days. Would I fail? Would I succeed? What lessons would I learn the hard way? Did I do my homework? Tons of questions kept flooding my mind while I would lay awake looking at the clock hoping I could get some sleep.

This time feels different. It's more about being overwhelmed with all the work and trying to keep everything organized. I have a couple of projects to do at rent house #2, rent house #1 is vacant and i'm trying to do the make ready while trying to get new tenants approved. We also close on rent house #4 today and it needs work plus I need to find tenants for that house at the same time. We leave for vacation in a week and a half and i'm not sure how I will get everything done before I go out of town. Playing handyman, property manager, and working full time on graveyard shift is starting to wear me thin. Is this normal?
