You're right, there can be a mentality that if someone else is paying that people won't be as careful.

I am a big believer that with hard work and the right mentality with good intentions, you will all find the success that you are looking for. 

************Facts (this question is more about your mentality, but in case you're curious)Triplex. 70's. 

I've never understood this mentality. 

Also I would suspect Within sfh that if an area close by is popular or up and coming you should see some uptick in demand for your sfh and you shouldn't see the fire sale mentality that you get every so often when one you have a unit in a condo type setting for example that you're trying to get rid of.I think it's a great idea for you that continue to take your time improve your skills and knowledge of Real Estate and then proceed forward once you have a greater level of comfort so kudos to you.

Hello BPCultivating a positive mental attitude is essential, imo, to live a life which you are fulfilled mentally, physically, spiritually and financially.

I am in a bit of a mental slump today.

I made a mental note of it .....I never let a tenant 'work off' a deposit .

I don't like to consider myself a "passive" investor (its a mental thing).

I'm looking to change my life towards financial freedom and get away from the 9-5 mentality.
