A deal killer has the experience that you don't.

I manage around 400 rentals with 14 years of experience and have never been sued once.

I had a converstion with a mentor a while back, and He thought I should sell one of my rentals (I have two, both fully paid off) and then pursue passive investing.

I’d be happy to take any mentoring or coaching. 

Did anyone advise you, mentor you ,on how to find and vet an interior decorator?

 just start generating leads and start talking to people and when you’re not doing that educate yourself also hire a mentor just basically get active..

(been working and succeeding since 2008 or before, someone you have experience with, good returns, close to 5yr investment?)

I know this is probably quite rare, but if anyone has any experience in this, any advice will be appreciated.Thanks,Gene

However, after many discussions with my mentor, I decided to pursue that avenue of investment at a later date.
