Some were routinely making less than 50 dials (not connects) per week.I cleaned house and started over.That said, there are other expenses. 

Also just in terms of getting started I am jumping in pretty quickly with two houses.My question then is are those concerns worth powering through, being a little uncomfortable for the year and learning a lot? 

I live near Boulder, CO and people there routinely offer appliances for sale on Craigslist because they want all new ones that "match".

My daily routine (in no particular order) is:1.

So, each day I am building the routine of increasing my knowledge, deal analysis and being active in the forum community by reading and responding to posts, attending webinars.

We tried Airbnbing the room, but the constant cleaning and turnover was tiring, and it made me uncomfortable not really knowing who was staying in our house.

Yeah, we routinely use hard money on our flips. 

This led me to being uncomfortable in investing in that market. 

The owner was also with us and I could tell he was getting uncomfortable at that moment.

We do routine inspections, rent collection, maintenance coordination and MUCH more.
