Tim Ferris calls it mini retirements - don't wait until you are 65 to enjoy life, start now and create days for me-time, read a book and do nothing etcYou can break your issue down into two levels: the physical work that has to be done and the mental stress you are dealing with.

Currently doing 7-10 deals per month.I found this to be my sweet spot, this volume keeps us stress free without having to bring more acquisition managers on board.

We are finding the process of managing it to be really stressful, even with a property management company, and are looking into alternatives.

I am not a dentist, and I do not invest in Boston, but I just completed a BRRRR, and I started investing while I was in a stressful, busy W2.

After 3 long stressful months and many “pivots” we successfully purchased the property, rented the other side, got the other tenant to vacate, moved out of our house and into that half of the duplex, and rented out the single family home we were living in!

I started in 2014 and while that first property was incredibly stressful, I can’t imagine my life any other way.

It's high stress but high reward.

That's why I stress the importance of building a relationship first.

Of course it is stressful but could be a good option rather than cashing out and still owning it with disagreements. 

When I did my recent HELOC, I did the stress test to see what the payments would be like worst case scenario and if I was comfortable with that risk.
