Sure, you can probably get ahead faster with the big bonus, but the second job position is less risky overall in the event of the bonus going away (or even eating your salary like in 08).Also, there has been some talk about rent bubbles in some cities lately, so in that case your higher cash flow would provide some protection for that.

If I look elsewhere I could most likely do it faster which is appealing. 

That seems like it should carry some weight, along with knowing the the traffic patterns of the booking cycle etc. 

And a million will probably not even cut it.Growing wealth is much faster than 166 years using a different approach. 

There are budget shortfalls, unfunded pensions and most importantly, real estate taxes have consistently been going up faster than inflation. 

I just landed great job opportunity so I'll be able to save down payment/holding cost much faster for a my first property!.

Florida is a much stronger and faster-growing market than Ohio. 

And it seems like prices are rising proportionately faster than rents, like most areas, so hard to get a lot of cash flow.

I always do Electronically, It's faster and more convenient.Granted I use a PM software but I heard someone use rentredi to collect rent, send leases and apps.They love it.Might be worth it to look at.

When I added my second property, it was a lot faster.
