@Stephen Montez from what we see here on BP:

1) Investors NOT knowing how to get properties under "market" value.
They all expect to pay price in MLS and cashflow.

2) Not taking the time to understand different property classes and their pros & cons
They often buy a Class C rental for the low price, yet expect Class A results.

3) Trying to DIY manage without doing their homework
They try to penny-pinch, yet their mistakes cost them dollars.
