I feel after that, mentally, everything opens up and it should become so much easier. we are probably in the same stage so this probably isn't that helpful, but this is what I am planning. good luck

I am a contrarian investor and exiting the Raleigh market at this stage fits my investment mentality.

They don't want to sell it, but they're in poor health, strapped for cash, and want to stay in their home.My market is super hot, and I don't want to have to compete for this house with the thousands of other investors in my market.Also, one of my neighbors is a total jerk, and at the very least, I want to control who moves in directly next door. 

If your thoughts include how to better merge the fitness industry and the health care industry that's great as well.

You'll need an honest valuation of the timber and a reputable forester to manage the growth, health, and during harvesting to make sure the loggers don't steal a few loads.

Are you mentally prepared and have sufficient time to potentially baby-sit 10 tenants?

When the water heater goes out at 10am on a Sunday and you have guests in there, you can't wait until Monday to call the plumber like I probably would if it were my personal home :)Also I'm sure it's been said a thousand times on this forum but make sure to check into the financial health of the HOA before investing in condos.

It's very expensive, stressful and draining on a lot of different levels, so you need to have that mentality going into it... that it will be a lot of work.  

My next mental nut to crack is the out of state rentals.  

I've known a lot of super intelligent people over the years who have made massive amounts of money only to loose it because they've always had the "broker mentality".
