When would you know you are over your head in rentals?

[Guy Yoes]

I recently moved from Tulsa to Springfield Mo. and started moving my properties from Tulsa to the Springfield and Branson area. I kept hearing the name Chris Gatley from the realtors I used to buy rentals property. I did some research and was astounded by the story of this man. Submitted below is one of many articles on what transpired. My question is: How do you know when you are out of control with your properties?

It's an interesting read to say the least.
