It is a mental jump to think of going to a 500k property, but if the rents can support that, then you should be ok.

The problem is, a property manager will never have an “owner’s mentality.”

Margins on REI are always going to be on a downward trend as the herd mentality shifts around from market to market and from investment type to investment type.I see great opportunities now and I'm trying to acquire as much as possible within the next 8 years because it won't stay that way here.

Maybe the tenant has a mental health issue and it's not true??

I am enjoying consuming some guru stuff these days, but with a different mentality.

Single mom with two kids, 1 has a slight mental disability.

It takes a long time to get rid of that mentality, even after years of getting a degree and then a crappy job.I think the government plays a huge role in this bubble with their "cheap" loans.  

Thus, there is a herd mentality of driving prices to levels that don't make sense.

Investing in multi-units is what im mentally invested in but Im open minded to all investment types of strategies. 

I want to apply this same kind of drive and mentality to real estate investing, as I wish to retire by 35 (or have the ability to).
