A question for the Veterans

[Terrence S.]

Hello all,

Thank you for taking your time to read this post.  I have a question that is kind of vague but I was hoping someone may be able to give me an estimate or share their experience as to when they began to feel more secure with their investments.  

I'm a rookie investor who has decided to practice the buy-and-hold strategy with SF and MF homes. Unfortunately I haven't been able to find any MFH within my market, but I have been able to purchase 2 SFH and they are performing fairly well with cash flow. Im still skeptical about my progress though. I feel as though I need more properties that produce cash flow to offset this anxiety in the case of some crazy emergency or something weird happens. How did you all tackle this feeling during the beginning phase of your investments?
