I’m guessing it’s impacting your state of mind, your sleep, maybe your health.

So many have paid the price prior, please learn from them.From a Property Manager in Detroit that Loves the City but cares about investors mental stability.     

Very common practice in mental health atleast around here sadly .

You clearly didn't understand what you read....Here are links to the COURTS decisions (AGAIN, the GAO is not a court...these two links are actual court decisions).http://www.uscfc.uscourts.gov/sites/default/files/...http://www.wifcon.com/cofc/15-78.pdfFrom the article you linked, clearly in one of the first few paragraphs for you to see:Interestingly, the Court of Federal Claims disagrees with the GAO’s reasoning in Sea Box (and, presumably, in Peers Health, as well).

He and his wife have recently moved 7 hours away for his wifes health/ allergy reasons and do not want to manage the property long distance. 

I'm definitely seeing that mentality played out here in San Diego, with myself included for the time being.

One of the most rewarding things from a financial, familial and personal standpoint.It took a great amount of time getting prepared both mentally and financially for the endeavor.I do not mind fielding a text from a tenant on occasion, or unclogging a toilet, the day I do I will hire a property manager.I pinch myself daily.

No mental gymnastics is going to get you cash flow on this deal .

Just focus on the mentality, the drive and attitude.
