Asking for budgeting considerations but also to see how others have integrated traveling to their properties with their lifestyles.

With things growing, I really want to leave my 9-5 job to focus on my investing business.I currently live a pretty cheap lifestyle, so I only need about $30,000 annually to live very comfortably.

So you shut your hole, and you keep your friend.Sometimes, the difference in your lifestyles forces you to speak.

I forced myself to be cut back the lifestyle when I decided to get into real estate and I cut my lifestyle to be 25-30% of my monthly income.

I would lock in a FIXED rate now, if you can.Obviously, whatever money you pull out and spend on living expenses is money you cannot put to work and invest in real assets.So, using the equation Assets x Return = Lifestyle, you should consider if paying for living expenses now is worth delaying financial independence in the future.Wishing you all the best in your future endeavors.Ken

Affordable real estate and great lifestyle to switch it up from the West

I know I want to start with SFH or multifamily as it fits my current lifestyle to invest in that area. 

I want to start getting into multifamily rental properties but cannot wrap my brain around getting into that much debt even if it means a more comfortable lifestyle with the increased income.

They find my lifestyle and the houses lol. 

Just realize that GC's must work today to earn today's income which isn't the passive lifestyle that attracts people to real estate investing.
