Our life is complicated and I work a complicated stressful job, but if we’re being honest, I also don’t have time for renters, but I somehow make it work and I personally think it pays off.Mtg: 1800Rent: 2900Owe: 200Rate: 4.5 I thinkSell Price: est. 450-460No other rentals except an in law suite on our current primaryFuture goals: would love to use this properly to buy other properties to get out of the corporate rat race. 

I'm looking for a way out of the Rat Race.

The old adage slow and steady wins the race can certainly be applied to real estate.

@Lewis Kerwin, based on those pictures I'm guessing the PM has a dog in the race aka that they stand to profit from the re-paint they propose.

Saying you want to eventually "get out of Section 8" is akin to saying you want to eventually "get out of renting to [insert a traditionally marginalized race/ethnicity/religion]"

You don’t want small condos that are easily carbon-copy for example as you have no way to stand out from competition and it becomes a race to the bottom.

It seemed like once Trump won the race that a flood of inventory came on the market.

I've read so many posts from people in their early 20s talking about getting out of the rat race before they are even in it.

After years in the highly active BRRRR, sales, and rehab realms as an RE broker, I quite enjoy throwing on my boots and riding a zero turn mower, taking a Jon Boat out on our pond, or cutting up a downed tree for firewood. 

I work remote full time in IT and want to escape the rat race and live financially free.
