I am curious to hear what everyone does to relax or take a break from the day to day of your full time job and/or RE Investing.

I am working hard to get to 15K a month net within 5 years...then I can relax some and know I can pay all the bills, travel, and provide for my family.

Sit down, strap in, have a cocktail and relax because it's going to be a long ride if you are going to delve into the preforeclosure world.

I love my relaxed schedule and the freedom it offers, but I feel as though I should be spending less time sipping tea and reading detective novels and more time acquiring wealth.3-Generate more 'disposable' income to put towards investing. 

You may someday have to decrease your rents, and then again, thinking positively, raise rents.So I would just relax, make your tenants happy, but also staying firm when needed, take care of repairs when needed, and keep your eye on your Profit and Loss Reports by class and you will know when to make changes.  

When you're at home, usually you're in a relaxed state, you get too comfortable, and it's easy to get distracted.

You should run a financial analysis to figure out if your funds will support the timeline or if you need to relax/tighten some parameters.When you do your financial analysis, look carefully at all your assumptions (rent price, vacancy, contingencies) and do some sensitivity analysis (ie. double the vacancy rate, or reduce rent 25%) to see how your model adjusts.People tend to be overly optimistic with plans and assumptions.

And just checking to see if anyone else has some thoughts now that we're past a hopefully relaxing holiday weekend?

lots of land, weather, beach, and relaxed people.

Breathe again and relax some, then get the 5 people who wanted to see it and setup times.
