Start lifting weights and learn how to fight. 

The idea of not having any weight on your shoulder.

Such a weight off my shoulders, so much more energy and enthusiasm back for investing.

If it is a one-time decision for a recurring expense, I'll spend the time to optimize it but I won't stand at the grocery store comparing cans of corn to see what is the cheapest based on net weight. 

Wholesaling is the magic weight loss pill of Real Estate right now but its not as easy as people expect it to be, it also isn't free and it comes with its share of risk.Just my $.02

And the owner profit goes to 9.4k (1k*11-10%-500) a reduction of 13%.This is just the tip of the iceberg but shows how right from the start a traditional PM wants a different set of things than the owner.Now the PM is ALSO going to manage the rent ready.

Believe it or not I will not take income if I feel I am not doing the right thing - so  I would let the tenant out of the lease and give them all their money back - because I dont want that weight on my shoulders while I try to get a repair that big - that is out of my ability - completed.... 

By far I get more requests for nightly rate reductions from AirBNB vs VRBO guests.

You loseyour first year of $120k principal reduction, which adds compoundedover 9 years = $69k interest to the end of your loan.

This is one of many estate tax savings strategy the average person has never heard of.My point is, a well versed estate attorney is worth her weight in gold.
