With a bit of planning and good operations, one can easily manage 20 to 30 properties without an assistant, with less than a day or two a month.There's lots of automated ways to check on rent, make deposits (my tenants deposit directly into a bank account), receive maintenance requests, have maintenance done, etc., etc.One thing I could argue is to have your tenants ONLY email you, especially for maintenance requests, and that email goes directly to the vendor that you have set up to handle it.

They just came out with a BabyBox, even smaller one that circumvents state housing lows and falls in as an RV.

I'm hesitant to give up my conventional loans on the next cash out refinance for DSCR loans.

@Scott Trench accountability check in?

You can also check meetup.com or search Facebook for real estate investment groups, clubs, or meetings in your area.

I'm trying to figure out a way to utilize a large storage building at one of my MTR listings in Memphis.

But ya have to make some educated prognostications in life.Add this to the information your processing - What your talking about doing is eliminating around $4000 or interest expense (which is deductible anyway so really could be a real impact of eliminating $2800 or so) of debt in exchange for paying over $10K in capital gains tax (don't forget possible state gains tax as well).  

For this reason, I often recommend setting up separate LLCs for Illinois investments.

This step by step process is all laid out in Scott Trench's book "Set for Life".

I don't believe "waiting it out" is an effective strategy.
