None of these things will bring success tomorrow, but with doing them consistently every day, I will wake up in 5,10,20,30,40,60 years and be miles ahead of everyone else.2) Never stop learningThere is only growth or decay, there is no middle ground.

:) If nothing else, have any of the responses helped you decide what you want to do?

So a question, haha, and forgive me if this sounds incredibly naive - how about getting a property manager or someone else with boots on the ground to do the underwriting by visiting in person etc.

All else being equal, lower mortgage rates reduce the cost of ownership and, thereby, allow more people to afford to buy.
