Some days I feel like all the maintenance calls checks going out each month just isn't worth it, but most days I want to head towards my goal of $10,000 cash flow a month. 

You're both very young and your lives, goals, and personalities can change on a dime.

It depends on your goals @David Vargas.

You need to look at your goals and what you're willing to do to get there.

My short term goals to get started would be to get into the wholesaling side of real estate and earn capital to eventually invest in purchasing properties on my own for renting and also fixing/flipping.

Right now I am trying to consider the costs/benefits of taking some money out of stocks to buy a property in Belize, with the goal being using it for short-term rentals.

Depends on the business plan and your return goals.

Hello, I'm new to all things real estate and was considering investing in rental properties, but wanted to know if my goals are realistic or not.  

Your goal is to match the value of the property you are flipping to what a bank will lend based on other comps in the area.

Our goal would be to make sure the house that we are not currently staying in would be used as an air bnb.
