The closing was completed on my end from a corner pub, enjoying cheap pilsner to celebrate.  

I was thinking about doing most of the work on my first rental my self ( I really enjoy the process of fixing up property, and working with my hands) but after having our first baby 3 months ago, my time is better spent with my new family.  

I know that eventually that killer deal will present itself but in the meantime I'm going to enjoy the immediate moments of success and the new acquaintances they provide.

I can't say that I'd enjoy standing in the rain fixing shingles but I would like knowing my properties are well maintained.

One of those rights is the quiet enjoyment of your home.

Enjoy yourself while you can before your body doesn't allow it.Good luck on both your Financial Planner goal and your Real Estate goals!

That's not a big deal, just sharing what I learnt.We are going to see the properties tomorrow.Part of me just want this for our enjoyment and have rental pay it off.

what areas of real estate do you think you'll enjoy the most?

As much as we would enjoy that environment, it is not 'go' for me professionally.My profession thrives in areas where population is high and the government takes everything it can.That being said, we are erring on the 'no go' side.
