You can manage it from Aruba if you have a cell phone. 

More cash out of pocket, more eggs in one basket scenario and slower process to buy a second property, eventually (this includes moving out of my coop with which I have a love/hate relationship)Sell my current coop, buy a duplex with less TLC needed in my preferred neighborhood, move into the property for an unlimited amount of years, qualify for an FHA loan and use the extra cash to continue saving to purchase a second property in 1 year or 2?

Setting up a home office with a computer, cell phone, etc isn't much.

However also scared of putting all my eggs in one basket.

Since we are on a farm, I provide guests with bagels and farm fresh eggs.   

The only way you may true money in the stock market is not put most of your eggs in one basket. 

I guess the question is sort of a "chicken and egg" discussion.

Definitely a dilemma many of us face starting out and after years in the business.My cell is in my signature and am always up to chat and give some advice if needed.

Our nest egg was moving into this place knowing it was an investment opp.

I’ve had some bad eggs recently btwn this unit and another one where I had a guy who also looked great on paper just stop paying.
