This achieves two objectives: allow tenants to fix repairs and/or schedule vendors. 

To achieve this, I need to overcome my fear to connect with other people.

@Stephen Foote - I think you should ask yourself how bad do you want to achieve financial freedom? 

No one thinks it can happen to them until their lender is motivated to force a deed-in-Lieu while salivating at your unfinished project.Good luck to you, Sanjiv.

If I have $100K or $1M or $10M to invest and I have more experience and better contacts than you, I'm better off doing my own deals.You sound motivated.  

I realize I’m all over the place at the moment and trying to hone in on a focused strategy to achieve my goals; the goals being to generate cash flow, wealth accumulation for financial freedom.

@Elijah Wichers, see if you can cancel PMI as soon as you achieve 20 percent equity.

It's Washington DC area so relatively insulated from market corrections, though if the sky truly falls and it happens to be right then, no real estate will be unaffected.I am not motivated to rent by greed, I am motivated by interest - have never done it before, and given that this property I already own and other factors make it conducive to renting- will certainly look at new opportunities in next market as well. 

I occasionally would get extremely motivated about investing in real estate, but would often be shot down by others or my own limiting thoughts.

Thanks so much @Stephanie P. and @Corby Goade this is very helpful and thanks for motivating me to keep going regardless!
