Here's my take - It can either paralyze you or spark your creative juices to prevent what you fear might happen.

This may be because the existing bathroom is quite small.My exit strategy is to sell if this rental business is too stressful or doesn't a meaningful income stream to me.

Without specifying where you are and price range, cash flow it is difficult even to give someone meaningful advice.

I have too many things needing my attention so I'm having trouble getting that "spark" back.

My info:I sparked up a conversation with the next door owner of one of our rentals (townhouse).

They do not provide meaningful oversight or guidance with respect to tax code compliance.A checkbook IRA LLC is an enhancement on the above structure that is generally more time and cost efficient for investors with a more diverse portfolio.

Hi all,Ok sounds right, and yes with single family homes it would be hard to have a positive or meaningful cash flow.  

My parents own and manage several of their own real estate properties and my grandparents served as Supers for 30 years for a 30+ unit building in NYC so I have vast family experience in real estate which has sparked my interest.As I'm sure many of you know, the NYC market is a very expensive market which has made it difficult for me to find financing to purchase.
