Like a lot of new investors you are probably feeling pressure to acquire real estate which can unfortunately lead to bad investment decisions.

One of the best ways to ease the workload is by leveraging professionals.

Get a job working at a bar a few nights a week, buy a pressure washer and go door knocking to pressure wash driveways and decks (for example, does not have to be that), and be an agent that hustles, works open houses, goes to RE meetups, networks like crazy, and learns a lot. 

Buy and HODLing will always reign the best course of action; sell preservation mechanism physical assets on rallies due to turbulence, and buy back in times of peace and ease.

I would have pressure washed the driveway as well.

The increased pressure on the housing market may mean landlords see a greater number of applicants with difficult rental histories.However, all is not lost.

makes the conversation feel more collaborative and helps ease tension around price.The built-in pauses in your script are great.

. $100-200 in this scenario is an easy chip-in for us when a situation goes bad to ease the owner burden slightly.

But we do have a few other things we didn't have ten years ago: A historic housing shortage caused by 15 years of under-development and driven by a demographic shift (demographic changes are as predictable as time itself), very high purchase and rental demand, and continued upward pressure on rents and prices.I agree with you that in many ways it has gotten harder to invest.

As for ease of switching over, it really all depends on how organized your current data and business systems and processes are.
