What is (or was) your biggest challenge when investing in RE?

As the saying goes: smart people learn from their mistakes, wise people learn from other's mistakes. 

I'd love to hear some of the challenges and hardships people face (or have faced) when investing in real estate.

I'm looking forward to what everyone has to say!

 My biggest challenge is and was having the equity to be able to out the required 20 or 25% down. Takes me a long time to build up that money. Hope that helps!
