Ergo so many wash out  just can't juggle it. and can't put the time in when its most productive.Now for those in the commercial world or mainly working with investors.. you can run it more 8 to 5.. but you need to be ahead of the deals also and other skill sets..

And that's just where we are currently pondering if our strategy is feasible - As we'd like to use a 15-year mortgage and savings allowing us to come up with 20-25% of the purchase price up front we did some number juggling.. using the BP rules for rentals, i.e. roughly 1% in monthly rent, and 50% of the rent usually going towards expenses, insurance, vacancy, etc. that leaves just barely the amount required to cover the mortgage payments.So we'd like to run our idea against you folks to get some feedback - Is it too ambitious/unrealistic?

I travel internationally about 40% of the time for work, so juggling real estate has been difficult, but not impossible.

You don't want to find yourself juggling personal mortgage payments and having to also pay mortgage on non performing rental unit from personal resources.

But the story will center around juggling the responsibilities of parenting with the demands of real estate investing and management. 

I had the opportunity to get out as my contact was up last may but choose to extend for a bit, because right now I am able to juggle both so why not keep double dipping and put the extra income towards future deals. 

Can you elaborate on "specialty mail piece"Managing 4 deals at once sounds like quite the juggling act.
