My pro pbmanager charges $15 for each 15 min they spend for coordinating contractors or doing any work related to the property.

That was a hard sell for me but I realize that I was making too many justifications for poor spending habits. 

You'll have no car payment, no gas payment, no auto insurance payment, won't need to worry about spending money on dates as you won't be having any, and given the 29 mile commute each way, you can cancel your gym membership if you have one.

There is an expression from Abe Lincoln that gets thrown around a lot on this site, it is "If I have 8 hours to cut down a tree, I will spend 6 hours sharpening my axe".

Want to make sure I don't get ahead of myself and spend when I don't too.  

California investors should spend more time in their backyard for deals.

In my case I spend good money on a CPA every year and now I am just told he is a hack that can't follow instructions. 

I wanted a multifamily property so I could house hack it and try to keep from spending as much money upfront as possible.

I would be spending about 900 a month at most after all utilities and would be living in a nice home that in a great location and close to both of our jobs. again, thanks for the help and good luck!

You may need to spend some time reviewing all of the possible financing options for your situation.
