She truly struggled to answer my questions, she has no idea what she's doing. 

My goal is 25 doors in 5 years, my struggle right now is deciding to either go back to work and save up money to continue or come up with a way to leverage financing to stay afloat myself and stick with it, waking up everyday 100% dedicated to my real estate. 

Don't agree one bit with that statement and Im getting a feeling that most people in this thread are inflating the struggles I've been facing.

With rates high, I don't see much changing in the market as buyers struggle to afford a mortgage. 

Which I also would tell you that if you have trouble managing finances and poor credit I strongly advise against real estate as its capital intensive and if you struggle now managing money having more money and real estate only exacerbates that issue.

It’s not every day that accusations of rent manipulation make headlines, and I wanted to understand how this impacts the millions of Americans struggling with housing costs.

I’m struggling with 3, in part because they are being rehabbed out of state and just keeping all the expenses organized is a lot of work.

The problem many of us run into is being in New England, many of the markets are high cost, high appreciation markets that we either can't get pre qualified for, or even after moving out will struggle to cash flow.Another big constraint is that many of us have W-2 jobs in engineering that require some days in the office, and these types of higher paying jobs are primarily in major cities (most of us are in the Boston area).Lastly, a lot of us have significant others that may be less interested in living somewhere "random" because it makes sense as an investment.

We’ve seen investors struggle when properties are in areas more suited for first-time homebuyers than renters.

So many of you are struggling with the same issues.
