Was that a past career in sales, management, or something related to real estate?

The sentiment feels a lot like 2008, home prices are unaffordable, Price to earning ratio don't make sense, rents are high (which is a goo thing only of the homes weren't so expensive), I feel like it's a ticking time bomb with the debt crisis.

Generally I'm a fan of hold until you die but in this case you are earning low cash flow on a large amount of equity.

You're spending X to save(earn) Y.

It was an incredible resource for me early in my career, especially on the topic of S-Corps.

If you are not finding good deals money wont find you.If you earn a decent wage and are credit worthy you can start investing by house hacking a multi family with a low down payment mortgage.If you have no money or credit your best best is start finding deals and bringing them to other investors who have money.

on the one hand, if you're happy with it, and you believe in this market, and this is what you wanted, great. the fact that you're asking the question shows that you're being thoughtful about it.with that said, it sounds like you're into the deal for almost $90K out of pocket, and so if you asked me if i would put $90K of my hard earned cash into a property to get $175 month, the answer is no. 

. ($300k has to be earned to net $250k.) so you’re looking 5 years of zero vacancy and zero capex to break even.

I enjoy the challenges of earning money.
