My schtick was Drive Control Automation...loved it but the politics etc drove me crazy.I called it quits @ 49 only because we had accumulated a good stable of quality properties.I love RE & the constant challenges.

This investing thingy is challenging and fun too!

I would imagine that was the case and it is feasible because of his extra expenses.For instance he can add bedrooms in areas that would commonly be utilized differently in a SFR therefore he is adding rentable area.I own a house that is rented by the room but my biggest challenge is to keep it full.

RE is a unique business, it also takes a certain personality to be a landlord/owner and many assume they can or are willing to hold properties but find later it's not for them.

I think you're right to "challenge" your holdings.

The largest challenge will be building a solid buyers list in a new location for you.Good luck!

My experience with my parents estate is that a home can be a challenge to relationships.

If so, what kinds of challenges have you faced there?

The seller or real estate agent may know something you are overlooking.One this is for sure, if you do not know more about the properties, neighborhood, and target market than anyone (including the seller); and be accurate in predicting the realistic future that is not based upon any blue sky assumptions, this could become much more of a challenge than a reward.Best of luck.

Most replies challenged and dismissed the philosophy.This is examples of why I was successful.
