I feel like i am in this awkward in the middle stage where I still need to work my corporate job, but right on the cusp to make real estate my fulltime job.   

When I purchased my property, I had read all the exciting developments in the works...indoor waterpark, shops, new hotels, restaurants, etc., but was severely disappointed when I went recently with my family. 

I'd say it would be important to see how much more you would make renting MTR.

Are you sticking with Treasuries, or does the deep value in today’s multifamily market make real estate the better option?

Here’s a chart showing what percentage of an American’s average mortgage payment goes to taxes and insurance:Rising taxes and insurance premiums make real estate even less affordable for buyers already facing higher home prices and mortgage rates that rose ~150% in less than two years.

The cost of admission was worth it as I was able to make really good connections with a lot of people both in the program and not.  

I like going off references regardless of market or section 8 tenant, it really helps us avoid the trouble makers.

We do fix/replace things just not these ice makers.

Some Instagrammable indoor-outdoor carpet, chairs, and umbrellas, and you can take it up a notch for less money.  

Real estate investing has been a passion of mine for time with my mother also having invested early on where I likely have gotten the love and desire to follow similar foot steps.I have taken last 6 months to educate myself and currently own a single family home as primary residence and would like to expand to multi family properties (2-4 units) for additional stream of income, not to mention potential tax benefits for long-term investing.Based on current living situation, I have a fair amount of equity established in my primary residency along with having enough cash to either pay off house completely or use towards investing in a multi family property.Given that I'm the sole source of income for our household with my wife being the home maker for our two kids under 2, trying to weigh out risks with getting started now or perhaps waiting.
