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.  

Instead of 40 houses cash flowing $200 each or $8000/month, you buy 10 houses and pay them off for a cash flow of $10,000/month with 1/4th the headache.People don't understand the amount of time, energy, and stress involved with managing a lot of doors, especially if they are lower-class properties typically needed to generate cash flow.

You can learn the local market without the stress of a major rehab while you start building relationships with property managers and tenants.

We're trying to get rid of the added stress of monthly repairs and simplify things.

That's really expensive, scary, and stressful.

It's definitely priced to sell, but I agree, this would be more stress and more time.Please do let me know if you have any referrals for lenders and attorneys, thank you!

If that is the path moving forward we will be left without a home as of 9/21/24 which will create incredible financial, mental, and physical stress on our part.

STRESSED!

The stresses a house goes under are different depending on the location, weather, type of construction, and tons of other factors. 

It’s more about the fun scenarios and balancing the landlord life without too much stress (unlike the real world).
