I understand turnkey takes a ton of the stress and headaches out of REI, but if you're at 4% cash on cash it better be in an unbelievable growth market. 

It's annoying at first but becomes addictive, like a game. 

One enlisted + one SFR addicted wife.  

I applaud you for getting out of NJ, taxes are unbelievable.

I have done my scouting and working with a Nashville mentor, these properties offer a unbelievable opportunity. 

Tough love" is never easy, as you're now discovering.An addict's first love is their addiction.

I think this whole topic is very important, and though technology has done amazing things for us, its also isolated us.It is so unbelievably important to meet people in person, break bread with them, get to know them, see if you have things in common to build a relationship over.Business cards are just the tip of this face to face iceberg, they are not as important, but what they represent and all the big events and meetings i've attended, they are still relevant.It's easy to just fire off an email or text nowadays.. face to face BUILDS relationships!

All there seems to be is scammers, thrives, alcoholics and addicts.

Although I think your cash flow number is very optimistic. 50% rule would put it cash flowing ~$750 per month... which is still unbelievably AWESOME for an $80k property.Well done!!

I'm addicted!
