A lot of baby boomer landlords are retiring at 60-65 and just don’t care to dump any money into their properties anymore because they are on the verge of closing up shop .

However, if your organic SEO ( or word of mouth, social platforms, networking, kissing babies, etc...) is bringing in the amount of leads you need and you can't operationally handle anymore then why spend any money on ads.

My goal was to buy 2 properties, but I had to wait until after we closed on our primary residence in August, our new baby was born the same month. 

I know , I have 2 rescued ones and the baby takes food from their mouth . 

Not to get into the no debt  max debt debate to me its math and a personal bias or comfort level.however if your buying low value assets like many on BP buy  in the C D class stuff for 20 to 50k a door then I like those in cash for sure.. and at your savings rate you could amass a pretty nice nest egg in 10 years with Zero debt I like that a lot.If your going for A and B class assets with not so much risk to tenant use and abuse and failure then I think you could maybe split the baby down the middle and take on some debt as its real cheap now and nothing says you have to have max debt.But one things is certain paid for real estate is very common with the very wealthy much more than what is talked about on BP.. 

I feel that we constantly have to baby sit them and tell them how to do their job the right way, and once you pay them you will never see them again and there is no way to hold them accountable for mistakes or poor workmenship.The other frustration that I have,  has to be dealing with the real estate brokers many but not everyone are very shady.

@Serge DuLaudAllemansThe benefits of a real estate license are unquestionable.

I am an animal lover with 2 big ole mutts, horses and goats also so I know people like to travel with their babies....I will let y'all know how this goes...

Congrats on the baby!

He also promised to never smoke around the baby, but always did and he was generally just a jerk.
