Of course it does in seminars but rarely in real life.#8 I would consider your inspection cost a very cheap crash course in buying long distance investment properties. 

The best way to get started is to pair books and podcasts on the topics you think you will be interested in first with meetups in real life.

PMI is locked in for life.

Now your husband may be willing to take these on but that is not much of a life for $500 per month. 

Respect their time by giving them the information they need to include or exclude your listing quickly, and then earn their respect by answering all correspondence quickly.Making life easier for the frazzled person trying to do their job is its own reward.

It's because typically people say they want financial freedom but are looking for an easy button where they do minimal work and all this success happens in their life.

This was a turning point in my life.

I know, there are plenty of red flags there, but I do believe it is worth the risk when I consider how happy it makes my wife, how life-changing it will be for the family, how minor the financial impact will be on me, and how it gives me the opportunity to practice the steps of real estate investing with forgiving tenants.Finally, I am going to attempt to self manage as nothing comes close to cash-flowing if you include PM costs.
