You also might want to run your numbers with a buyer agent commission factored in to see if having that experienced guidance is worth it in terms of reducing first deal anxiety and risk. 

I was tempted because it would've turned a decent profit and relieved some anxiety but I decided that I need to see for myself how the property performs over the course of 4 seasons before I consider MTR.

My only concern is and this may be due to my anxiety before I purchase my first property, will the area still be a viable place that renters would want to live over time?

Plus the anxiety of dropping 500k on an investment that might not work out is too much for a lot of people.House hacking in the traditional sense is a bit invasive if you have a family.

Instead they can use their anxiety or fibro or welfare babies or whatever they can to get a free ride their entire lives and not try.

This investment has been a big source of frustration and anxiety every month wondering if the tenant is going to pay and seeing my reserves dwindling.   

So bear with me a bit as I take you through the steps on what it takes.First, you are asked to enter some basic information, your name, age, gender, email address and whether you have a pet at this moment, what kind of pet and it's name.Next, you have to fill out a fairly long list of bogus questionnaire, basically to establish that you have some sort of "anxiety". 

Now that I'm familiar with the process it is running pretty smoothly and I have way less anxiety over how things will go since I've already been through it and know exactly what to expect.  

We made it for six days, the last three which included no power, intermittent water supply (no toilets/showers) and rising anxiety.

Knowing that someone died in the house would cause me a lot of distress,sleepless nights and anxiety.
