Do you have time and the stomach to deal with low quality tenant?

And, a $200/month loss may be easier to stomach than coughing up $10,000 or more to sell.Jon

I truly feel like both of these applicants failed to try to assist in getting the verifications very unlike how serious applicants have made sure I got what I needed, but it's been hard to pinpoint (besides a bad feeling in stomach around day 3) when I figured out that it was going to be another couple days and it would all not gel.

I don't think i have the stomach for hml's.I realize that not knowing our exact financial situation and having minimal data makes this a difficult task to comment on, but any thoughts may help.

You are tired of managing them yourself, but to hire a property manager would hit the cash flow bottom line too much for you to stomach. 

I look back at it and wonder how I had the stomach to deal with the crime and unreliable tenants which were part of a hopefully "developing" neighborhood.  

I could probably stomach one $5k expense right now, but 2 $5k expenses right now would cripple me.Its more of an asset growth game long game than it is a cash management short game.Cheers!

I wish I was able to stomach risks I did at 20. 20 year old mind should be way faster and flexible then 40 years old.

If you have the stomach for property management why not just refi and get your money back out and hold as a cash flowing rental (assuming the numbers work...)?

the way u want to do it will really depend on how financially risk averse u r and your stomache for dealing with workers.
