Risks I've come across include:maintaining occupancy rates (seasonal risks and ST needs risks); paying occupancy taxes (or failing to do so)

My past has shown me that I will indeed fail, but that these failures will help me grow into a stronger and more successful person/entrepreneur/investor.  

About 25% of the time the tag fails for whatever reason, but I still get notified.

With 4-plexes, it is more market specific on the weight given to comps or income. 

When it comes to drainage, passive solutions should be preferred to mechanical ones.A sump pump will eventually fail and during a thunderstorm when you need it the most, the power goes out!

All to often others fail to see valueGarrett

@Gary Sullivan   I for one think that paid for one on one mentoring with someone you trust and like is of a great amount of value as long as you can afford it.there is only so much one can learn reading on line ... and most pod cast just gloss over topics and really don't get into the nitty gritty... a good mentor paid for or not can really short cut the learning curve and probably the money you spend on a paid for coach or mentor is money you would have lost trying to do it on your own.. and failing because you did not know what you did not know.I for one thinks its horrible advice when people on BP say to not pay for education save that money and buy a house... even if you lose money your getting hands on education..

**SPOILER ALERT** - You’re most likely gonna love me, or think I am a jackass who possesses an overvalued sense of personal worth in combination of too lofty a set of goals & dreams“People refuse to take chances in business, because they fear the criticism which may follow if they fail." - Napoleon HillI have only just very recently decided to throw my hat into the REI arena.

@Gerald W mcgee  I think the bigger threat to those that try to wholesale houses without buying them and or that don't purely assign contracts is the states cracking down on unlicensed activities as we are seeing in Ohio  and Florida etc .. especially those wholesalers that try to tie up listed properties and fail to perform... the RE agents get pretty miffed with this activity and it will only take a few to start filing complaints

Failing to declare income is tax evasion; failing to report an expense increases the tax owed.
