It puts downward pressure on your asset value and on your monthly cash flow. 

In 5 to 7 years they'll be using you to sell their first home and buy another one in the higher price range anyway, so don't do what I did and wait 5 to 7 years to get comfortable with higher price points, it's years of potential income lost.Yes you still have to work hard and put in the hours, but any question about hours relates strongly to the ROI you get on those hours, which in my experience can be greatly increased by those things I mentioned.If you stick with your current job for a while it may relieve a lot of pressure and allow you to grow in real estate without feeling under the gun.

What it rents for now will cash flow so no need for immediate pressure.

I must say though, biking in some of the steepest streets in America may not be the most exciting (Mount Oliver and other neighborhoods nestled into the hills).

Who knows when the blower motor in the HVAC will burn up or if a kid mowing the lawn hit the condenser hard enough to crack a joint in the line, pressure drops and causes damage?

The building is way behind schedule and the fines to the developer are mounting like crazy.

I was stationed in Subic Bay when Mount Pinatubo blew in 1991.Glad to have you!
