Yes this is not what you wanted in home ownership, but don't let a tough situation become a disaster.Take emotion out of the decision and point out the areas that my logic is off base.I wish the best for you.

I am not saying my method is scalable but it does work with discipline.

The fact that we did not want to demo the entire home was a big selling point, it was an emotional think and we realized that from the beginning.

It prevents emotional knee jerk reactions to market volatility and world geo political events.

Challenge is +95% of agents only deal with owner-occupied transactions, which are emotional-based purchases, and are actually pretty clueless when it comes to helping an investor make a numbers-based purchase.Don't believe us?

Currently have two long term rentals and looking to slowly and deliberately scale in a disciplined way.Thanks!

The average person can totally achieve financial independence easily with education, self-discipline, and consistency. 

For MF you should treat it like a business and increase NOI through opex discipline or rent growth factors.

But thanks for sharing your opinion/propaganda/emotion as well.

I would more so worry about fixing the actual issue than dealing with the emotional aspect of it.
