So you could view it as more of a necessity than a choice.

If you're not happy about your financial situation, you have to make better choices, find a better job, cut spending, get a roommate, etc.

I need some advise or direction, I don’t want to make the wrong choice.

(I also have about $10,000 in car payments left - another stupid choice I made when I was younger; I do have a credit score of 752 and absolutely no credit card debt.) 

so you trade one job for another.. one you run yourself the other your working for someone.. its a personal choice. there was an interesting back and forth over on the " rent control is sweeping the nation thread"" with a couple of SF long time landlords.and as one pointed out  his 13 doors are worth 200 plus doors in the mid west his cash flow is as much if not more ( he bought in the 90s is appears)  so he self manages his 13 doors  his renters are all mid level or higher Tech types  who can pay 2500 to 5k per door for rent.

Unfortunately, the market crashes at Month 10, now there are two choices.1) Sell the property at 70% of the purchase price.2) Keep the property, but make no cash flow for however long it takes for the market to bounce back to its original value - maybe five to ten years.

You just go to your hard money lender of choice first, before you make your offer (deal in hand) and get everything ready to go, making sure your loan officer knows you will be making an all cash offer and that they need to be ready to fund immediately.

Solid Class B neighborhood multi-family.So I have 3 choices of sinks, and I'd love to have your opinions on which of the 3 "Under-mount" sinks you think would be most likely to attract new Class-B tenants and keep them. 

In many parts of the country there is no choice as city sewer is unavailable.

Also, there are some solid stock choices out there that are not at all at risk of declining steeply but also sport a 5-6% dividend alone.
