It's hard to put a price on getting a good nights sleep, and is it really worth it to possibly accelerate your goals if it means have that extra stress over your head?

That would be more ideal but the thought of owning placing outside of my reach is stressing to say the least.

This is especially true of B-C grade rentals that are in-town, dog friendly, with a yard.On the flip side, we’ll see how a potential “second wave” of COVID may affect our already stressed tourist economy.

I have found the quality of my tenants is directly proportional to the amount of work stress in my life.  

A good Property Manager will answer all of these questions for you and take all of the stress off your hands.

My philosophy is that if I leave a few dollars in the property its worth having the peace of mind and will keep me into the properties for longer as opposed to trying to pull out everything as fast as possible and getting upset when a water heater dies and selling to get away from the stress. 

But I’d probably keep your capital accessible unless you really want to remodel your home — which I am sure you know is stressful if you are living in it.

But if you sell to lower stress, that is valid and reasonable (especially with children and also covid).

Given that this was my first purchase, perhaps finding something less stressful would have been helpful!

It all worked but it was stressful.
