So what's holding you back?

When I help new investors with buying their first property I often want to know what is holding them back from pulling the trigger.

So I'll ask here. What is holding you back?

    My advice to all first time investors, make sure you find an agent that is familiar with investment properties, tenants, leases, city codes, etc. 

    If you plan on using a property manager, please research as much as you can! A bad property manager will break you!  If you find one you are comfortable with, I would use them as your agent.  They know the ins and outs and they do not want to manage a bad property!  They will give you the best advice possible!
