Instead of stressing over timing it perfectly, focus on making sure the deal still works even if rates shift.Since you’re buying in Norfolk, check if lenders there offer any investor-friendly incentives.

If you have an adjustable rate mortgage and it is likely to increase significantly in the future, rent growth rate may not compensate for this and cash flow is likely to get worse over time.

Unless you have the rentals paid for by the time you retire, they aren't going to be enough to live off of. 

Please let me know what days and times work for you.

We’ve got one big player that probably has at least 600 units with their own rental office and full time maintenance crew.

If you are setting aside funds for capex, taxes, insurance, or other expenses that don't occur monthly, transfer those funds to Savings each month and hold them there until it's time to spend them.

I have done it a couple times myself.

My sacrifice… no haircuts and no fast food. 1 job full time, 1 full time side hustle. 0 debt at the time other than student loans.

There’s a lot different tenant types and I’ve spent a lot of time figuring things out.
