Tenants may also use you for their benefit at the PM's expense, or vice versa. 

My name is Rebecca and my husband and I have run Captain Save a Home LLC, Brew City REI Club, Brew City REI Training Cafe and Wisconsin Contractor and Handyman Club based out of Milwaukee, WI for the past 8 years.

What may be safe to me, might be too risky for you, or vice versa.

So my challenge now is finding other people to bring in on deals/vice-versa? 

Until then all numbers are purely imaginary.Investors that do not include maintenance and cap expenses on a ongoing bases are only deluding themselves and should not be holding a property beyond 5 years.The biggest joke of all is the investor that made $400/door one year and $200 the next (or vice versa) on the same unit.

And vice versa. 

Many avenues to take there, and the area you invest in, is determined by your strategies, and vice versa, where you invest can determine the type/style of investing.

Many people don't have the vision, inclination, or self-direction to move beyond the salary way of life, but over-consumption is a vice, which IMO is deliberately perpetuated to the detriment of those who are caught in it, and the benefit of those who profit from it.

You can now use the income from the other properties to cover repairs and days on market is usually shorter because a person that can afford 3000 a month can downsize to 1000 but not vice versa.Good luck!

If you live your life depriving yourself of the things (toys) that bring joy or fun to your life and concentrate on simply accumulating wealth, you may reach a point where you're near the end, have a RE empire and never really stopped to enjoy yourself along the way.I spent many years busting my hump trying to make as much money as I could and guess what...it was NEVER enough.Throw the motorcycles and 4 wheelers in the toy hauler, hook the ski boat to the F250, and captain that Carver down the ICW until the water turns blue!
