After my experience of buying 2 Class C Indianapolis properties in 2023 "cash flow on paper" I saw the writing on the wall.

Some of your other posts are pretty solid, but you need to get some help or take down the photos of me on your wall.

The 4 guests smoked marijuana in the house (strong smell), broke a window blind and a picture, put a hole in the bathroom wall, chipped an end table and worst of all vomited on the couch and front porch.

Stop hanging out with your deadbeat buddies who spend all day drinking, talking sports, and otherwise wasting away.

This reminds me of the story of a wall-street banker convincing a fisherman who already has time for his friends / family to instead scale his fisherman business(get employees, integrate, then sell the business) all of which will lead him to be able to spend time with his friends and family.It already sounds like you have a great life - spending time wth family and in great health.Having additional money doesn't sounds like it would improve your life that much.

Quote from @Jaron Walling: I bought my first house and got into REI for control, stability, and the opportunity to solve problems. 

@Dani Beit-Or  Yes, nationwide/Wall Street backed lenders offer HELOCs on investment properties. 

Stop hanging out with your deadbeat buddies who spend all day drinking, talking sports, and otherwise wasting away.

For example for a few holes in the walls they have someone paint an entire unit and take their spread.

For people who don't want to hang it, then they need to take wet clothes to the laundry room.
