If that is not you, it is ok, embrace it, and find what you ARE and what way to best invest as that.

Don't be afraid of leverage, embrace it:) Let me comment on the money.

If you are in a 500 yr flood zone then you have a decision to make and if you are at all risk adverse then get flood ins. and if you are not in a 100 or 500 year flood zone, and have inadequate reserves to handle damages, you're probably a good candidate for for flood ins but you are not embracing many of the strategies that are consistently discussed here on BP and other REI sites. 

Don't be afraid of it; embrace it. 

That sucked, and I wouldn't recommend it, but if you can learn to embrace that 'finisher' inside of you, you can learn to do a lot of things. 

Unless you want to argue with them, just embrace it.

I embrace life-long learning and change.

As several above have stated, if you have Class A properties, you can easily manage remotely if you embrace technology and solve the maintenance issue.Regarding the fees you quote:1) Placement Fee = 1 month of rent.

And yes exploring new and interesting real estate deal potentials in interesting places along the way, it's an addiction, I just can't turn it off and my wife has started to embrace it vs fight it now giving a day or two on our trips to stop by some realty offices and go look at properties, lol. 

But I also wanted to encourage you to embrace this time as a PM!
