The ones who decided to come, after all, left 5 star reviews.

If I had to leave a takeaway from this post before getting too far in it would be that whatever goals are had you have, we have these goals for a reason and typically it does not go exactly as planned but even if it doesn't go as planned, we can pick up where we left off and give it a fresh start.

Thanks to everything I’ve learned from the podcasts, books, and this community, my wife and I currently own:A triplex in MaineA single-family rental in San AntonioA single-family primary residence in Las Cruces, NM, which will become a rental when we move in a few monthsFor context, I’m an active-duty Army officer with about 12 years left until retirement, and my wife works for a university in Boston.

Each mortgage we have about 250k left on.

Still, my soft heart left my head feeling pretty rough, like a "failure".I don't think with your experience and 17(!)

I added value to the property by focusing on key renovations that aligned with the tastes of Hamptons buyers.

It's hard enough to find 1 good property manager you align with, let alone 1 per state.

Instead, I was left without updates or access to critical information during that time.Corina’s mismanagement, dishonesty, and carelessness not only caused me significant stress but also substantial financial loss.

Hey man, so I actually left my W2 (biotech) and joined real estate full time due to the number of properties/cash flow I was getting.

That is I think it is more aligned with the fact that above average (in price) houses don't make good rentals--so these folks primary hold houses which are below the average price in the areas they operate.What do y'all think?
