@Cary OgelloAnalysis paralysis is a real thing, and it is caused at least in part by not feeling comfortable with the numbers and not knowing what a good deal is.  

I am looking forward to being apart of this great online community and I love the educational aspect of the podcasts as I listen to them while I am working out and when I am driving in the car. I

I Co-Host a Mid Term Rental in Cary, NC (as well as several other cities/states). 

I agree with @Ned Cary.

yes. but spend the money now (especially if you can do some of the work) and it will be cheaper in the long run (once they are in, i have to hire contractors to get it done faster)2. good tenants - easier said than done. the quality of your rental will dictate the type of tenants you get. give them unit with stains and you will receive a unit with 10 times more stains. do your homework, get references, learn how to interview the applicants. it's an art, you just have to watch their body language, their questions, their car (is it clean, but not always an indication)3. respond to calls, check up on your properties. change the filters regularly. do not charge for changing a light bulb. treat them with respect until they stop paying.that's it, really..

You will never appreciate until you total your car. I

Feel free to reach out...Thanks,Cary Ferguson

Every time he buys a house, buys a car, I even think they require it when you book a flight, your SSN is used.

Just as a person who bought car is willing to trade his car for 40-50% of its value just to get his new car is his choice.
