Contrary to what it may seem most of the people on BP who have "made it" and been successful have put in huge amounts of effort, time, stress and had to compromise on their quality of life to get where they are.Your basically working 30 hours a week which in todays era is considered part time.

A partnership, like marriage will mean that there is compromise and this can only occur if you are talking regularly to one another.Tasks, “who does what”?

Keep in mind that waiting for the right property is better than compromising on a critical factor that could affect the profitability or feasibility of your investment.

I'm so compromised with this, that I just sold my car (I had a loan for 19k and got 20.5K for it) I know I can deal without a car right now and I want to lower down my monthly expenses to see where else I can put my money.

You could consider going to Ventura County as a compromise.

If you get 4 hrs sleep, you will indeed have 20 hrs to work, 4 more than the average person...but if you are over-stressed and sleep deprived, ALL of those 20 hrs will be compromised.

They just cost too much and rented for too little.Since weather, and not economics, was our main reason for wanting to leave, we decided to choose a compromise.

You'll probably have to compromise on at least one of those.You may want to chat with @Jacob Thompson about his experience as he went through this exercise locally quite recently.Good luck!

That's a reasonable compromise to take, asking your tenants to do some maintenance activities in exchange for the deferment.
