The opposite end of the spectrum is buying turnkeys, where everything is done for you so at that point you wouldn't technically ever have to go out, but I'd recommend going out at least once initially and then during any big turnovers.

Debt, like everything else in real estate and personal finance is a spectrum.

I think you are between the anxiety and denial spectrum right now.

The political leanings of the State Legislature are at the other end of the spectrum from the Toledo City Council.

It is definitely on the other end of the real estate spectrum from most of the local investors you'll find on BP but based on your grad school program I thought it might be of interest. 

There's the 1-in-a-____ chance you'll find it but it's not an easy, scalable model for someone seeking to skew passive on the investor spectrum.  

But I am wondering how far along that spectrum of uncertainty is considered acceptable.

If you are the type of person (and not saying anything is wrong with it) that takes care of their car, and drives lower miles on the spectrum, lets say around 10,000 miles a car, and is OK holding it for 7+ years your better of buying - financially you will be ahead, and when you want to sell it to buy a new car, your car compared to other cars (same model/same year that are also 7 years old for example, yours will have lower miles = more value)SO THE MAIN THING IS HOW MANY MILES YOU DRIVE A YEAR3. 

But, I think that based on all of those things, plus the pure convenience of having it already set up, is worth the higher end of the spectrum.
