Copious amounts of coffee.6am - Off to my office where I check my bank accounts, investment accounts and email.Check Facebook for a few minutes and fight the urge to get into fight about politics.Turn off my computer, pick up whatever real estate book I'm reading and spendthe next several hours studying, taking notes and researching.Around 9:30 or  10 I eat breakfast and start work.After reading other's posts, I feel like I should be drinking more tea and meditating or something healthier.

2020 is around the corner and most people are making new years resolutions; exercise more, eat healthier, be happy, etc.

Sure, takes more time and effort, but the meals will be healthier, cheaper and much more sustainable.

Unless you want to argue with them, just embrace it.

I embrace life-long learning and change.

Eat healthier every day

As several above have stated, if you have Class A properties, you can easily manage remotely if you embrace technology and solve the maintenance issue.Regarding the fees you quote:1) Placement Fee = 1 month of rent.

And yes exploring new and interesting real estate deal potentials in interesting places along the way, it's an addiction, I just can't turn it off and my wife has started to embrace it vs fight it now giving a day or two on our trips to stop by some realty offices and go look at properties, lol. 

But I also wanted to encourage you to embrace this time as a PM!

He doesn't buy into the classic trap of survivorship bias: "Although I dropped out of college and got lucky pursuing a career in software, getting a degree is a much surer path to success.College graduates are more likely to find a rewarding job, earn higher income, and even, evidence shows, live healthier lives than if they didn’t have degrees.
