I don’t want that for myself; I want to break free from the rat race 

How can I optimize my situation to be at least break even or, even is short term like air bnbs andvacasas reay good?

I just got pre-approved for a property, but finding cash-flowing deals in metro Atlanta has been tough, most are barely breaking even or showing negative cash flow.

I've listened to some analysts break down the top amenities and kitchens rank near the bottom.

For example I understand your brother is in charge of maintenance, but what if he wants to go super cheap on something that breaks later on and it cost more money.

He said "Son I have been cookin eggs here for 20 years and well come tomorrow and the next day I will still be cookin eggs" As in nothing is going to change in his world.I fly home and get into Portland in the evening only to see all the portland weirdos and antifas and who knows what rioting breaking windows setting fires.
