We can not get rid of it, but we must learn the discipline to keep it at bay.

I understand that this takes time and discipline which is fine .

There is a strategy, requiring self discipline, you need to use to make it work but it works great.PM me and we can jump on a call  where I would be happy to share the logic.

I would like to have someone who will eventually buy it, not just a short-term.And I guess my overall question, how do you keep disciplined in making such little decisions?

I'm not sure what that is, but there aren't a ton of steps and most revolve around the discipline to save and discipline to stick to the numbers.

It depends on how disciplined you are as a investor and financial manager, etc.

Many would not have had the required discipline and sunk even deeper.My wife and I have a very low tolerance for debt and though we have utilized some borrowed funds to grow our portfolio it's very small compared to what some think it should be.

I have noted the upcoming Apr 25 meetup.Westchester MF are often closer to $500k and carrying costs are higher than CT due to higher taxes.We saw a short sale in Verplanck that MIGHT fit the need, but after much deliberation we passed since we had a harder time seeing us living that property (though the numbers were compelling).We are taking a very disciplined approach towards this acquisition. 

Main thing is find good tenants and that can be done with screening qualifications:-income 3x the Rent -minimum FICO score-minimum reserves-positive referencesBe disciplined with screening and you should be solid.

Something about saving lots of money while on deployments coupled with military discipline and other factors like buying a house at each PCS.
