Hi I’m new real estate and I brought my first rental property. A year ago but I’m having real trouble balancing I have in this property with my W-2 job. between my job which I do sometimes 40 hours or more and rehab the home sometimes after work I go straight to the house rehab the property or I do it on my day off or I do both the same week. But I get extremely exhausted a lot of days. and it’s frustrating because if it wasn’t for my job, I will have finish we have in this whole house months ago but they are Some days I have to take a break even though I really don’t want to my body cannot take it. I just want to know is there anyone in the same boat as I am and if you guys have a do you deal with it?

@Adrian Suarez You need to learn how to leverage other people's time. 

Investors don't paint every wall, lay every tile, or hammer all the nails. They pick and choose the most cost effective projects to DIY and hire contractors for everything else. Pay contractors accordingly and keep moving forward. If you're >10 months into a remodel something is seriously wrong even with a regular job.
