I'm grateful for having a job but I dread getting up at 5am every day and breaking my back for 10 hrs a day almost living paycheck to paycheck.

Thanks for the tip - I've used the feature before but apparently when you back space to change the name it breaks the Java Script(or whatever technique is used) behind it and doesn't look up anymore in Firefox on Mac until you delete the @ sign all together and type it over! 

And they may not give you any breaks for living there.If just starting a 4 plex would be easier and better terms.I have seen where a 5 plex was turned into a 4 nominal plex by opening a door and calling 2 units one unit for the day of appraisal and the mortgage application. 

I am a bit shy but I'm breaking out of that now (several changes in my life have allowed me to do this).

So my question is, how can I break through that barrier?

Your break-even point is 6.25 years on the investment of 30k before you see a positive return.

As long as the property is performing, the vast majority of the time, you are better off doing regular maintenance vs. waiting for something to break / fail be a problem that could escalate to a crisis (nothing like a sewer line back up!).

If they did, they'd realize that those properties are bad investments (they lose money or barely break even over time - over the long run).

Just everything i need to know and they keys to be successful... i'm new to this site i haven't had time to really break this site down yet and read read read...

I have a couple older landlords give me a break on seller financing.The lease option deals never entertained me because I always wanted to own the asset.
