This one gave me the confidence that I'm able to handle way more than I think I am if I just endure and think "What's My Next Move."

RE is not a sprint, it's an endurance race, you need to train for it.

A long term lease would ensure your property was cared for while you would avoid the management concerns other landlords endure dealing with common tenants.I trust your understanding that not everyone is as fortunate as yourself in their education, however, I can assure you that I know real estate very well and that I am a very responsible person.   

Look what you had to endure just to go through permitting process.

You endured a "perfect storm" of both legislative and economical changes occurring in the midst of your investments.

It has also helped endure many insanely packed trains on my commute here in Tokyo.I have been living in Japan for 10+ years.    

With a vacancy that high in that location you will endure much turnover even if you decide to put in a nicer rehab.

Even if I worked to the limit of human endurance, it would take me at least three months (probably more) before I close my first deal. 

I'd much prefer learning from other people's school of hard knocks than endure it on my own!

If you do not take matters in your own hands and vet people, to the highest level possible; and within your abilities, you will have to endure many negative consequences.
