One thing I’d stress is the significant difference between Detroit proper and the surrounding metro areas.

Also, don’t stress about making your first deal perfect.

I feel terrible walking away...but i was under incredible stress (not sleeping and eating like crap) trying to figure it out and make the quotes work by paring back finishes.

They are on a big push to get back in the game though, have you seen their recent ads stressing that they only list private homes?

Stress that.I still don't think that having a Blog on your websir=te is all that helpful.

Besides the stress, the other main factor that I want to point out is- time and use of money.Wholesaling would have been much faster and that money could be used for the next deal faster.

This gets them thinking about your eventual move and the stress they might face in finding a new tenant.After some time has passed, you could share that you’ve started looking at other homes, but the options in your price range don’t compare to the property you’re living in.

If I pay it off, I could maximize cash flow earlier, reducing financial stress and allowing me to focus on other ventures or simply enjoy life more.On the other hand, I know some people advocate for keeping cheap debt and using the extra cash to invest elsewhere for potentially higher returns.Why I’m leaning toward paying it off:Security: No debt = peace of mind.Financial freedom earlier: A fully paid-off rental would give me a significant monthly cash flow?

In addition, while the umbrella did not end up having to pay out, having it meant I did not stress about it at all.  

Instead of 40 houses cash flowing $200 each or $8000/month, you buy 10 houses and pay them off for a cash flow of $10,000/month with 1/4th the headache.People don't understand the amount of time, energy, and stress involved with managing a lot of doors, especially if they are lower-class properties typically needed to generate cash flow.
