Even better: you can continue to collect rental income (this helps boost your taxable income, which banks love and will help you with financing down the road) and you could watch that property appreciate in value.

However, your point of view that "not your forever home" does help with my mentality.

If you are single, a house hack is mostly the best way to boost your network, otherwise, due to family constrain, you might have to fund out-of-state turnkeys or new construction. 

I wish I knew the fearless mentality.

I understand the mental hurdles of it.

Find out they have a pitbull mix and the tenant cannot sign lease due to mental illness and PM is unsure how they signed in the first place. 2-month delay in signing the lease extension, no pitpull mix on-premise.Both properties were purchased sub 4% financing.

In-general, yes, if you do everything on your own, then it will basically come down to watching 100 hours of podcasts, making 1000 emails, and around 300 phone calls before you over mental hurdles and find trustworthy people to invest with. 

(millions of ppl are raised by family that are mentally and financially poor, I was one)Neither of our positions are commission, higher paying positions are salary. 

Being able to see/drive to you property is basically just a mental hurdle you should try to overcome.

HSA money is instantly available (all of it) for qualified medical expenses (medical office visits for doctor, dentist, optical, mental health; prescriptions for most meds, procedures, even Medicare premiums when he gets there).
