Thank you Eric.In addition to the rental properties, my wife and I have a paid off house, paid off car, and about $1.4m in retirement accounts, brokerages, and savings.We live in a HCOL area and our expenses are $9.5k per month even though we live pretty modestly.I set out initially to have real estate pay for at least some of my expenses in order to give me more freedom and financial security.Is your wife quitting too? 

I get the feeling you don't enjoy being a landlord, so I agree that you should consider selling and investing in something that doesn't include tenants and toilets.

I have enjoyed Stessa's interface but unfortunately it is useless to me if I have constant bank connection issues. 

I know when you buy a foreclosure in Oregon and you intend to live in it you can evict.

We overthink real estate...Just find a place that people with options want to live. 

Everyone has to live somewhere.

It's a niche I genuinely enjoy, and that's why I focus exclusively on it.

We all invest in real estate in order to make money, and keep in mind that someone who can only afford to live in a mobile home and seller-finance to buy the land is probably tight on funds. 

There are landlords who are proud to own properties while offering their communities a nice and safe place to live (and enjoying the benefits of having someone else pay for your appreciating asset).
