You know those one day measurements are always what we need to go by..On another note, this is like the People who step on a scale in the morning and weigh 175lbs then in the evening they weigh 180lbs then in the morning 175lbs .

Much like by the end of this decade, I will take those same steps to become even less involved with work and have more times with my kids who will be really developing and that will be my focus.The difference once I made money, and was able to make it make money for me I de-risked by eliminating leverage.

For example, when guests encounter issues during their stays—or even when they are the cause of the problem—a professional management company can step in immediately.

I have a goal of purchasing a small multifamily this year, so I want to start making the steps to make that happen.

Don’t let that discourage you, but just know that stepping outside your comfort zone will be part of the journey from time to time.

Congrats on taking the first steps! 

You’ve taken strong steps by hiring a reliable cleaner and listing the property across multiple platforms.

Like @Charles LeMaireand @Justin Kane mentioned Joe Fairless and @Theo Hicks have a great book that goes over every step of the process on how to become an apartment syndicator.Are you looking for a more active or passive approach?

The third property has a nice cash flow.I am wondering if there are steps I can take to reduce the cashflow issues of the 2 properties before obtaining another property, like pay down the mortgages or should I just save the cashflow from the third property to pay for any future expenses?

Joining BiggerPockets is a fantastic first step – it’s where so many great real estate journeys start.
