Sometimes letting them do their thing can save so much time and stress!

For example we had a group coming to stay for a wedding but after booking realized that it was almost 40 miles downlake from town.

we do have to remember and I know its 10 years ago and many on this site are post GFC investor and know no better.. but were do you think all these deals came from... back in 2010 to 2014  it was not from well performing assets it was from stressed and failed owners. 

It was certainly stressful to do a rehab loan (non-recourse) and refinance with non recourse loan and budget the renovations.

However, if you intend to work with a hard money lender or utilize a short-term loan product, you're on the clock for repayment, which can be stressful if things go sideways. 

It depends.If you find a PM that is willing only to do some task becaue you're still very involved then go for price.If you're looking for a PM that will ease the stress to where you forget you're even a landlord then quality of service is key not price.

While the heater issue adds extra stress, addressing it promptly will protect you from further fines and penalties.

Our life is complicated and I work a complicated stressful job, but if we’re being honest, I also don’t have time for renters, but I somehow make it work and I personally think it pays off.Mtg: 1800Rent: 2900Owe: 200Rate: 4.5 I thinkSell Price: est. 450-460No other rentals except an in law suite on our current primaryFuture goals: would love to use this properly to buy other properties to get out of the corporate rat race. 

So I had a windfall and can sort of "semi retire" with a part time low stress job. 

I'd be able to put 20% down on each and have money left over for some repairs/updates.It seems like I'd initially take on more stress, less initial return but the long term scalability seems great.
