Thank you @Michael Dumler that's really sound advice.

That said, if managing sounds overwhelming or you’re strapped for time, hiring a property manager from the start is a perfectly valid option.

We see it all the time with the conversations on what cars/vehicles folks drive :) here in BP there is a badge of honor to drive a 20 year old 250k mile car/truck :) Myself I saw my dad do some of this although he never got to the utra wealthy stage by a long shot but made good money in RE however it was not until he bought old style timeshare in Maui that he would finally take a vacation..

If youre older and wealthier, paid off sounds a lot better.

Smaller deals may sound "small" and yet they can provide a great deal of experience.4.
