Keep your full time job, don't listen to gurus who tell you to quit and do RE investment 24/7.

Post the numbers you project and I will do re-post it.

I'm a (very junior) C-17 pilot at McChord AFB in Washington, and while I'm active duty there are three reserve squadrons here that, if you interviewed with them and got accepted, you could live in Tacoma, still do RE investing, and do flight school for free.

Some avoid RE, those that do RE, can follow any of a dozen or so paths.Some comments about some posts above

Curious to know what others would do.Improvements on current primary home (new roof, exterior paint, perimeter wood fencing, etc.)we plan to hold/keep this property as rentalfinancing: should we do re-fi cash out or HELOC?

The investors out here do rely on appreciation, but these same investors are often preserving and growing wealth instead of trying to obtain wealth.

Plus, they're talking about controling the rents in a way that as a landlord you will not be able to set up your rent as you wish.France is one of the worst country to do RE investments.

Why do RE in the first place?

I do RE Investing in the Central FL area.

@Guylaine Dore This site seems to cover the subject well:  http://www.alwirerepair.comI think it's enough of a potential safety hazard to warrant total replacement, if you can e.g. you're remodeling, etc.
