Heck, being that my tenants are college students I am thinking of doing basic furniture as well as an incentive to prospective tenants to reduce some of the stress of having to buy furniture before move in

I don't regret not putting them out on the street, even though I fully acknowledge that would have made my life, wallet and stress much better off.

Real estate investing is an emotional roller coaster when you're new, and I'm not sure whether the extra stress of getting into deals is worth it.

Investor-friendliness and having a positive, low-stress OOS experience go hand-in-hand. 3.
