@Rickey Garcia I'm in the camp of "go for it," but I say that with the assumption that you'll do your homework before signing any paperwork, you'll have contingencies in your budget, and you'll be prepared to handle the stressful nature of a flip.

Yes it is work and does come with some stress, but the amount of hours I spend actually working vs. the pay beats my W2 job.

I have considered a property manager before, especially when things get messy and I get stressed out.

They are high risk high, stress and a lot of work to operate successfully.

My manager is doing a great job of keeping the property in good repair, but it's been very stressful dealing with the vacancy of the 2 rent ready units.

For some reason, though, I can't find the edit button to change my title :(

So i wouldnt stress too much about all the little details .

This button does not work (I've tried).

Now, we have a more measured market stress on our hands- Yellen gradually tightening the screw of interest rates- and we lack the universal sentiment that real estate can only increase in value.

I need to remember that it's not just money the sellers would be saving by not needing to list their home - they would also be avoiding the showings, the waiting and uncertainty and stress, right?
