You can most likely live for free or live for half of what it would cost for rent all while your tenants are paying down your mortgage, you are getting fat tax returns, and you have an asset that appreciates dramatically, especially when levered.

@Eric Oneill If you're holding fat stacks and staring at the Poker table it's smart to learn the game before you buy in.

So they sent the notices there - fat good that did me, the tenants never told me I had mail. 

For example, I just had a tenant complain about one of the stove burners not lighting due to a faulty ignitor.

If I thought like that I would be a wage slave with low net worth rather than FI at 22 and took off nearly 2 years with the births of my two sons and now near fat FI in my mid 20’s.

The answer is a big fat NO.

FWIW, if you back out over something trivial/irrelevant in the bigger picture like a rate that's 0.25% or 0.5% higher than you would have gotten a week ago, your realtor may put you on the back burner.

To combat these challenges, we either need to scale quickly or purchase properties with fat margins that allow for management inefficiencies.

More people die from being too fat than starving in this country.Adding on what Nathan said, I have tenants who cashed in big from the pandemic. 

If they show you paperwork I would still keep it as a back burner possibility while you put your time/effort into someone else.
