Hey mate,Agreed that many PM's suck and it's very hard to find a good one.But I also believe that managing out of state is suicide.Do your best to control the emotions and to think smart in moments of despair 🙏Take the time in finding another trusted PM.Just my opinion.Much success.

Code Chapter 47 - Fraud And False Statements, which is a very boring read, unless it applies to you.Please don’t do that.Make sure your Proof of Funds source has the funds and that you are authorized to use those funds and the source will vouch for you in court.If you are going to buy “Turnkey” it is recommended you visit the actual neighborhood and actual house before closing.Things can be very different in person.Afterwards is too late.You may not like what you seeGo with the Math, not the emotions or hopes of the futureIf you are losing money with the hopes of making it up later, you should seriously reconsider.Wishful thinking is a poor investment.Interest rates are going upAnd interest rates are going down.And interest rates are remaining the same.There is no clear direction for rates and there are arguments for going each direction – buy so that your property cash flows, even if you are wrong.Ignoring your workers.Always serve your workers pizza on the job.It keeps them on-site so they don’t wander offThey will think you actually care and will work harderYou get to become “one of the boys” and they will tell you things you need to knowHmmm, out of space, but not out of mistakes. 

Other than that, "like it" is an emotional issue, and has no place in REI.If you are keeping the property for decades, and it will take decades for it to be profitable, you are losing money. 

Do some data-based analysis to determine if this investment makes sense as opposed to emotion driven decision making.

For that reason, I wanted to pay cash to remove any emotional/financial burden so it bothers me less, If that makes sense.

I know I should leave my emotions out of it haha. 

I think the poster needs to make sure all the facts are in line with their emotions, and I would suggest adding a profile picture, so it seems more real and not a get back situation.   

It's not an emotional thing, it's a rational decision based on returns.

This is why we use tech tools and than a human disseminates it and adjusts it to a real world applicable strategy and actions. ai still does not have command of human emotions, and until it does, ai won't have command of how these things fully work and how to best navigate them. 

Debt reduction also has many philosophies and it's okay to choose emotion over the academic arbitrage, it's your life and your choice.
