The reality is that most new investors do self-manage and you could 'potentially' save money doing it but the other real reality is that most that do self-manage are not able to scale with any real impact and are only trading more expensive time for money - they just don't know it yet.

I wouldn't let that impact what you are planning to do now.

This can be very subjective, so you will have to evaluate what you truly value and whenever you spend money (whether it be $100 or $1,000,000) that it has some true, impactful purpose behind it.People also aren't methodical when it comes to saving money.

That impacts the total return over time (which includes cash flow, mortgage repayment, price appreciation) quite a bit.

This is impacted by your out of pocket and the equity in the property.A great cash flowing property like yours if it's paid off is OK - you would net around 18K after expenses (not factoring in allowances).
