I strive follow a similar path as I continue to grow my investment portfolio.

The cost of turnovers is significant, so strive to keep good long-term tenants happy.Build the relationship first, begin making improvements, and then raise the rent in increments.

But mostly when I provide for my wife and kids and give them a better life then I had that makes me happy and also if I strive to be my best I can be a good role mode for my kids.

You should strive to find tenants that not only can afford to give you rent but also want to give you rent!

I would work to leverage my funds best possible, strive acquisition with equity day 1 to amplify purchase power fo the liquid funds.

Multiple streams of income is a goal to strive for.

Whether you're looking for pure return-oriented opportunities vs prioritizing personal use, looking for a hands-off experience vs being heavily involved, or considering budget first vs striving for trophy assets - all of these priorities will inform the type of information you should be looking for. 

Or do they start dumping, in a panicked frenzy to "get-out" striving for net-0 as a "good" outcome? 

We use a YTD paystub and last year’s W-2(s) to calculate income several different ways:Hourly or salary income calculated to a monthly amountYTD income divided by number of YTD monthsYTD + W-2(s) income divided by the corresponding number of monthsIf these numbers vary too much, then we investigate and require an acceptable Letter of Explanation.Employment StabilityUnless an applicant has exceptional credit, we strive to determine their stability of employment to make sure they’ll always be able to pay the rent on time.

My advice to investors is simple: focus on educating yourself, improving your skills, and striving to become the best investor possible.Don't waste valuable time managing your properties!
