I guess it worked for me, but I am getting to a point where I dont think I can afford another property with a negative cash flow...Thinking of selling my house and may use that 200K to buy something smaller in my neighborhood...Or can pay off my rental and move into it, its 10 minutes from my current house...I want to sell, but have a hard time psychologically to sell...I am like a hoarder who cant depart from a property...Hoarding is not a good trait for investor...
