Buying a course didn’t give me mental leverage to get marketing started. 

Not sure what your situation is as far as a job or marriage or anything else that may be holding you back, but if you really want that dream you need to go all in, burn your ships, develop an abundance mentality and make it happen.

(Mental Note to myself)

If you were staying local(ish), Self-Managing could be a great option, but it depends on your REAL job and mental capacity.

My mentality is go off current cap rates.

However, I want to remind you that the same mentality that allowed you to first build your wealth still exists and is retained within you.

The owner isn't dead but appears to be suffering from dementia + addiction (ain't that a mental illness now).  

The parent choosing to keep the temp at an unsafe temp with children could be a sign of mental health issues and they may need to take the children away to keep them safe. 

Also, in your response to @Rahma Zaghari, do you mean that a landlord needs to mentally detach from the house/property and treat it as a job rather than be emotionally attached to it?

It's like buying a suit of armor to bring to a pillow fight.This herd mentality, where everyone blindly follows the latest 'sophisticated' trend without understanding the why and the how, is not just amusing but financially draining.
