And if a property manager makes sense to have somebody else take care of the property so you don’t have that mental load on you then it would be great.Always remember to add what the property manager percentage is going to be two-year debt service.

One other thing is many syndications try to do a refi in year 3 to return some of the capital back to investors and that can boost IRR.

The tenant needs to make allowances for the fact that there's a pandemic on.The fact that neither the tenant not the LL have already done this, 28 days into this, speaks volumes about their shared lack of mental horsepower and/or capacity to deal effectively with hardships.

Plus, Ohio's landlord-friendly reputation really boosts its overall appeal.

Supply and demand metric and future trajectory is more important There is herd mentality because people look at the same data then the builders are making too many houses , like situation in Dallas create oversupply which is good for owner occupant , but doesn’t bode pretty well for investors.for me inventory changes are the most importantly hence I would invest at Oakland Michigan than Philly area for example.

And, now being a realtor I'm really looking forward to helping others do the same and keeping up to date on their journey's as well :)To your point on job security, when I had to quit my job back in December, knowing that I could survive from my properties was absolutely huge for my mental and financial health. 

You are not mentally ready to invest yet.

However I’m aiming to wait a couple more years to boost my credibility first

you can track it back to the CRA and everyone should own a home mentality of our politicos . then add Wall st poring sub prime loans  into A grade bonds and you had a disaster no doubt..its really a miracle in a way we got out of this.. and maybe we just put a bandaid on it.Canada though with so many natural resources is always going to be fine.. just log some more timber.. extract some more minerals or keep plowing through the Oil Sands.. 

I mentally 'allowed myself' to buy out 1-2 days per week to not work in my service business at all (with a lot of encouragement from my wife to do so!)
