My wife just goes in to "smile & nod" mode when I start in on the numbers and the reasons this house or that his is a good deal.

I thinks we would all go into a different mode and figure out ways to incentivize non paying tenants to move out so at least you could try for a paying tenant even if it ended up at a Lower monthly rate.

Well whether you went to college or not - you reap what you sow.Lastly business route will always be greater in my book same reason real estate as scale is good for paying yourself first, tax write offs etc.. just remember the right business model is just as important as what you want to study in school if you chose that route.

Once you are not in buying mode and you’ve purchased as many properties as you can utilizing the Heloc for down payments, then pay down the Heloc.

Take action my friend, when I first heard about the whole real estate journey I did find myself getting stuck in research mode wanting to know the answers to everything.

Always encouraging to see someone else do well when in the research mode of real estate.
