Stress from property management causing nightmares

[Matt Liu]

I started managing my own properties (with a handyman's help) because the management companies I first hired were terrible. Plus I could use the extra money. The problem is now I sleep poorly. I often wake up with dreams of confrontations with my tenants. Is there anyway to get over this stress somehow? I really don't mind the work, and I don't feel stressed, but it's clearly affecting my subconscious/my sleep. Any suggestions?

If it is eating you up you might consider going to a property management company. Another possibility is go to your local cancer hospital or children's hospital and volunteer some time. It is sometimes easy to think we have it bad when the truth is our lives are wonderful and amazing, we just won't let ourselves see it.
