Part of the reason I want the freedom with my time is the ability to put everything on pause and go surf when the swell rolls in. 

Hi everyone,Hope everyone’s day is going swell. 

The media LOVES to spread fear "if it bleeds it reads " Plan for the worst , hope for the best 

As we all know with the News "If it bleeds it leads!"  

Are you trying to make a profit or just get rid of them to stop the bleeding?

@Traver Freeman  then what I would do is forget buying one rental out of state.. you should be looking for a 4 plex were you live.. 3.5 % down FHA even a 800k property is only 30k down.. you live in one unit. the other will most likely cover your nut.. you refi out in one year then do it all over again until you have 16 doors all in SOCAL then you will be truly home free... your right 200 a month cash flow if you cannot get scale is a slow bleed many times. you must be careful with your credit. and our loan slots...

In my opinion, it is the cash flow that is the icing on the cake.While I'm no fan of buying for appreciation while bleeding money, it is all relative.

Last I heard, he'd given many of them back and what he was holding was bleeding him dry.

Trying to DIY wiring, letting broken windows stay broke for 2yrs leading to pigeons setting up inside a historical property, bleeding your parent(s) dry while siphoning money out of a rental.
