Thank you Eric.In addition to the rental properties, my wife and I have a paid off house, paid off car, and about $1.4m in retirement accounts, brokerages, and savings.We live in a HCOL area and our expenses are $9.5k per month even though we live pretty modestly.I set out initially to have real estate pay for at least some of my expenses in order to give me more freedom and financial security.Is your wife quitting too? 

I'm doing quite a bit myself but the cast iron part is a job bigger than I can handle.Any recommendaitons for rough-in plumbers in NJ and willing to travel about 15 miles outside of Newark?

ADUs adding value and ADUs adding more value than they cost are not quite the same thing.  

There’s actually quite a few investors from California making purchases over here. 

In this era of increased rates, obtaining properties that will produce a good return are harder to find and often involve quite a bit of work.  

Nonetheless, If you’re short on time, hiring a local attorney who focuses on evictions is definitely a good idea, as the process can be quite tedious.

I had an interesting topic my business partners and I have been discussing for quite some time and I would like the advice of you all.

They are unlikely to quit. 

When I looked at prices recently they look like they've gone up quite a bit but I know they vary a lot depending on the neighborhood.
