I know we all want clients and marketing is really stressed in many RE books.

Fantastic deal,I don't think I could live through the stress of having that much invested but the return was awesome.Maybe someday it won't scare me so much.Great Job!

My other property is being managed by a property manager and, I must say, having a property manager definitely does remove lots of the stress and headache of having to deal with tenant problems. 

Takes a little of the stress off.

Is it worth your time and stress to deal with it or would you rather take the cash and sell it?

It's a great plan when transitioning out of the military and provides a much needed cushion to benefit the family during that sometimes stressful time.I would also recommend that you continue your saving mindset once you transition to the civilian life.

This is going to be a stressful time.

I’ve bought low and held and sold for hundreds of thousands of dollars of profit, reinvested, have many properties now, continue to buy more, have a solid cash flow from real estate, keep a fairly stress-free W-2 job to increase my income and my ability to obtain financing and keep up my standard of living.

This is a LESS stressful and cost efficient way to get your first rental and take advantage of the loan programs that are afforded to home owners.Otherwise continue to read, listen to podcasts, study reports and numbers, but if it makes sense and all your ducks are in a row, take the plunge!

One thing I will stress upon though, you need to get educated, but if you join a guru class or workshop, DO NOT buy from them as it is a complete conflict of interest.
