If not, and you find that its actually anxiety-producing to be handling it all on your own, driving back and forth, dealing with tenants, then you know that the 8-10% sacrifice is worth it to you in peace of mind and personal freedom. 

Who struggles with depression and anxiety but has been able to be a successful real estate investor?

There is a bit of anxiety as I feel I have gotten pretty good at the SFR side of things.

A real estate agent is good for two things;A) Getting access to properties and leads,B) Negotiating on your behalf if you are a busy person or prone to anxiety,C) Getting access to industry standard forms (which may or may not be sufficient)A real estate agent cannot offer legal advice or help you understand potential pitfalls of legal documents.

These are some EXCELLENT comments by @James C. and should eliminate any anxiety in the process for you, no better advice here – Your numbers have to be the guide you use!!
