I have a DADU over my detached garage that my daughter used to live in, but now she is out on her own so if I want to do a more major renovation (need to refinish the floors and maybe open up the kitchen more), I can move into the DADU as well.

If that is the path moving forward we will be left without a home as of 9/21/24 which will create incredible financial, mental, and physical stress on our part.

Pretty sure her daughter was running a program buying there.

A good number of homeless veterans also have mental health concerns, varying in degree.

I am not looking to leave my W2 and want to make sure that the properties I invest in are solid and would be something I would want my wife and daughter to live in. 

I book marginal candidates in between strong ones to create a scarcity mentality. 

You could have hired a PM and been financially and mentally better off.

Our mental model is to have enough that someone arriving late could put together a bare bones meal for dinner and have the essentials for breakfast before they head out to get actual groceries. 

Logically we keep telling ourselves, we have the experience to easily make the transition but mentally there's a big difference when dealing with 100's of thousands of dollars on a single fam / duplex and millions of dollars on a 20+ unit property.

If it crashes hard enough, it impacts your personal finances, your relationships, and even your mental/physical health.With the exceptions of politicians and so-called charities, building wealth typically requires sacrifice and time.
