Don’t bite off more than you can chew.  

While up there the next weekend, I find it's a pesky squirrel chewing the corners of the logs.

Mice love to get into parked vehicles like that and love nesting and chewing on things like wiring.

Not keen on taking a property that I have to feed each month.I guess my goal is to have some income producing properties that myself (partner) can self manage, I already run four small businesses that I am trying to grow and really love working on. 118 properties would be a HUGE cash flow generator for sure but I think it would chew away time from the businesses I would love to build and fall in my overall passion :)

And then 3rd floor was a major project since the floor was unlivable so I wasn't sure I'd have enough money and didn't want to bite off more than I could chew to start.I say all that to say, while it's most time and cost effective to renovate by the trade and get it all done at once, sometimes that's not the best for your situation.

Even with the upside if everything goes right, it has the potential to be an absolute nightmare and I could be biting off way more than I could chew. thoughts?

When the right kind of tenant (you know, those who are kind and respectful, don't blame others for everything, have chewed you out less than twice) is in a bad way it's a great opportunity to help them. 

Sounds like you're trying to bit off more than you can chew, perfect one thing at a time and take bite sized steps.

Always do your due diligence before buying to make sure it is something you can chew.

Also don’t forget that rabbits teeth never stop growing and they have to chew to file these down.
