The blame game - Once your stress levels have reached a boiling point with questions such as 'why is my property always vacant?'

I lost all my faith in "friends", society and politicians.

So much so that we have been contacted by the local historic society to write a article on our flip of this project and docutument it along the way. 

This is stressed over and over and a common thread throughout.  

But they do seem to make good money and have a very low stress job.  

I, on the other hand, spent 20 years in commercial nuclear power in Emergency Services and was tired of the late night calls and the stress.

Of course with that larger scale the demands of managing and your required capital reserves also grow, which is another factor to consider.A lot of what you decide to do will depend on your risk tolerance, ie, how stressed out you're willing to be by taking on debt.

I would like to stress the point that I will add 10% to rehab costs as a cushion for unseen expenses.

It's very stressful and time-consuming.

I hope I can enjoy the tough process with valuable learning, and not be stressed out.
