I'll keep it as my back-up plan along with my wife's TSP and Roth IRA, so that whatever happens we can retire comfortably at 65.

If the tenants are doing well, the financing is solid, and the deal flows now then I'd be comfortable going into it with good reserves.Buy, hold, roll!

I have a three bedroom apartment which rents for $1700 ($700, $600, $400) the smaller two bedrooms are moving out, but the one tenant who wants to renew but is having issues finding roommate in this COVID environment, not only are less people moving around but she is also very worries about having 'strangers' move in. 

I am not naive and know that there will ALWAYS be something new to learn, but I feel as though I am at a point where I feel comfortable enough to take those next steps.

Will definetly add your reccommendations to my list.Yeah, I’ve watched a few property analysis videos, but yet to analyze one myself, mainly because I don’t feel comfortable estimating many of the inputs at this point.

Another might be a lifestyle of living that requires 200k a year to be comfortable with passive income going up each year to account for inflation.It varies across the board.

If people can't adjust the temp to their comfort level, you will get dinged.

But trying to get 8 conventional residential loans through underwriting simultaneously would be a monumental undertaking, especially in the current lending environment.

We will have our current property paid off before we would feel comfortable making a move into buying a rental property. ( 6 - 12 months from now ) With everything going on right now it is making us wait to jump into the game.

You may have to partner up for your first 1-2 properties given this environment.
