Let's try reframing this @Eric Justice:Buying all-cash, reduces operational impact weight to a level that feels very stress and urgency free. 

Any advice is greatly appreciated, below are a few of the questions I am kicking around curious if anyone with experience can weight in:1.

Correct me if I am wrong but Joe Schmoe with no experience and no education can call himself a financial advisor.There is no governing body that administers the term 'financial planner' so I put litte weight into that title / profession, whether it is fee based / non-fee based. 

This can be quite expensive. 3) Make sure you buy furniture with a high weight capacity. 4) This arrangement doesn't attract the best tenants.

Total rents increased by ~14% (weighted average).

Now if he gets you by the hand and shows you how to buy with no cash and credit, and you are able to buy, then his snake oil is worth it weights in gold, but he will have many excuses his business is selling snake oil not real estate.

It is not easy to find good PM's but when you do they are worht their weight in gold and when you have a bad one you just want to sell the property instead of firing them.

Tell the tenant that his opinion carries zero weight, so he must submit proof from an ACCEPTABLE expert to support his alleged foundation issue.Until then, he will be held liable for the terms of his lease, to the fullest extent of the law.

Results are FAR more weighted on HOW and WHAT a person does then where they do it.

A quality operator is worth its weight in gold.
