I'm also willing to relax my "no house hacking" rule after really considering it.

In that sense, I was way too relaxed with them and should have been more forceful about my expectations.

I'm really hoping to get some time to relax, reset, and really plan the next steps wisely. 

People go from being relaxed, to making sure it's paid by the first to get the discount... yes, it's slightly cheaper, but even habitually late tenants have been converted to paying by the first!   

People are hard to predict, so dealing with tenants is a headache.Investing in something else that you can sit there, relax, get in and get out easily, and earn money without much headache.Good luck,John.

Many of them think going all in on REI is as silly as going all in on stocks would be to Brandon Turner (relax Brandon, it's a joke!)

If you are looking to by a forever home then you should not make any major financial muscle movements leading up to that.

Work on your marketing strategy, meet with new contacts, spend extra time with family, and maybe relax a little. 

It doesn't cost a lot and we have fun and relax for a few days.I'm not rich or a genius and if we can do it, anyone can.

Josh (Just landed in Phoenix for a brief trip/vacation which I don't anticipate will be very relaxing)NOTE: That In-N-Out Burger I just ate has dulled the pain a bit . . .
