I am very diligent about saving money and found real estate as an avenue for investment that could produce a passive income if I played my cards right.

You're investing in an area that produces tremendous cashflow, however there is risk associated with that and some of it is what your experiencing right now but the good will outweigh the bad if you're going to truly buy and hold.

It is far better to pay for something that will actually produce a immediate income as opposed to being a money pit.

Looking at this from a return position, each door produces $150 per month cash flow x 6 doors =  $900 x 12 months = $10,800 annually and now I just made 10.8% return on my money.

Always buy an INCOME PRODUCING ASSET that will cashflow since day one.
