Thanks in advance, as always I greatly appreciate your feed back!

Paying more for something rather than less is usually a mistake UNLESS (i) you do not have sufficient cash to "feed the alligator" every month, or (ii) there is some useful purpose for that cash (i.e. you can incur greater investment returns on the cash that exceed the after-tax cost of the additional interest payments). 

I’ve also recorded a bunch of videos on Biggerpockets channels about different paths to invest in CRE.  

Do you guys have the w2 income, career, or job to weather feeding this for 2-3 years (keeping in mind new owners will bring out the repair requests from the tenants)?   

Thanks for the feed back.

I built the business mainly to feed my buy and hold business. 

We could make out their face and have them on audio but the 4K camera feed was not good enough to read their license plate number.
