Boots on the ground is hyperlocal, and what you're looking for is essentially cheap labor that can open a door when you need it.

Encouraging property owners to sell these homes to renters could not only reduce housing costs but also revitalize communities, particularly in underserved areas, by fostering pride of ownership and long-term neighborhood investment.

So, if you have 10 units and you are going to pay $1,500 a month and you are working on an active income job, too, this is an easy switch due to the labor mentally and physically (even if it is just phone calls) to get these rentals running as a well-oiled machine.

.- Working a W2 as a firefighter, posting and consuming content- Leaving my W2 to dive deep into real estate investing and working as an agent... and still watching/posting content all while business was ok - Deleting social media apps (one have one on my phone that I use 10 minutes or less a day), diving deep into building my business and skills which have drastically increased due to pure focus and increasing my business significantly- moral of the story... focus on the things you need to do in business (dollar productive activities) and life experiences while reducing consumption will increase your success  

However, vacancy means covering 100% of the expenses.Multifamily properties almost always generate higher cash flow due to multiple income streams, which also reduces the risk of vacancies.

If you plan to live in an RV, renting out both homes could reduce living expenses, but make sure you’re set up for remote property management, possibly with a property manager.
