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.

I sold it because the condo association was undergoing an assessment which significantly cut into the cash flow.

So the old homes were sold to canny investor types who quickly converted them into duplexes and filled them with black folks eager to get out off the Hill and white Appalachia hill folk from the surrounding areas looking to move into the Pittsburgh metro area.As the municipalities began to catch on to the fact that any sort of old home undergoing a conversion to multifamily was bad news for the area, they passed ordinances forbidding the conversion of single-family to multifamily.

I am getting my first rental property undergoing.

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

Keep in your back pocket that you could pay the monthly fees (usually under $20) if it gets the deal done.Payments and interest can start whenever - especially when a property will undergo rehab.

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. 

I tried to undergo the HELOC process on a different rental property that I have in order to pull some equity out and use for the down payment.

I've got a big fat 0 properties.
