I'm dealing with a lot of stress...
Hey, bigger pockets family. I'm really struggling and getting burnt out with trying to own 3 rental properties on my own with no experience and trying to manage and learn every aspect myself. How can I reduce this stress I'm taking on with the least cost possible? Thanks.

@Jayden Hamilton if you think it is stressful being 23 with $100,000 in the bank and at least one paid off property, none of that is normal. At that age you should have boundless energy and be happily working your @ss off to build a future. I am not sure what skill, blessing or luck you had in life that got you so much net worth at such a young age, but you should be thankful instead of stressed.
Buying an apartment building will 10X your stress and problems. If you get married and have kids, that will 10X your stress. Based on the limited information you provided, it seems you need to hire work done and maybe even hire a property manager. That is the only way to reduce the burden and scale to the next level.
As far as respect, it has nothing to do with age. Respect is earned by how you treat people and the expectations you set.
