How many investment properties is too many?

[TygerTung]

It was easier for the older generations to get into a house. Far easier. A couple could easily buy a do-er upper in a good area of town on low wages with a small deposit. Now a young couple will need an enormous deposit and good wages to get a miniature do-er upper in a rubbish area of town.

Possible? Yes. Easy? Certainly not. Some enormous sacrafices will need to be made, much more than has had to have been made in the past.
