I can read the title examination and abstract and assess the risk on a quick holding period, I can also go to court and defend myself in any title claim, if need be, I can pay for expert defenses, and fight claims.

I grew up in a broken home and ultimately turned to drug addiction to self medicate.

Depending on your goals and objectives in RE.

We self manage , I am not familiar with the section 8 requirements and what you are responsible for. 

Otherwise, it's self service and that offers higher returns, but it's a lot more work.

I reside in LA my experience with self-managing 25 units located in 3-4 properties in LA.

So your $800 would over the life of the rental be closer to $400, $480 if you will be self managing (40% not 50%).Back of the envelope analysis shows you making a net operating income of $5760 for the year if you self manage, a 13.7% ROI if you spent your $35k doing repairs.Learning these quick guidelines for analysis is a good idea to qualify or disqualify a potential property.

I've been in commercial real estate for awhile and I can invest in Self Storage Facilities without help.

If not, you would have to assess the costs of running a gas line plus the unit compared to sticking with an electric range.

In summary, I identified what really energizes me and then took the time required to go back to a mostly blank sheet of paper to redefine my objectives and strategies.
