Fearing a mistake is coming.   

We fear that when we move out in a 1.5 year from then, that the tenants will not be covering the full mortgage from both units, we’d have to come out of pocket still most likely.

I havnt started but I have a fear that buyers still continuing  to purchase properties are very minimal.

With a little guidance from the site here as well as any members I'm able to network with, I hope to quell some of the obvious fears I have due to lack of expierence with real estate contracts, attorneys, title companies, etc.And thank you to everyone for the warm welcome.

If there's significant crime and your tenants aren't safe, then your tenants won't flourish and if you have stagnant values and fearful tenants, you won't be able to build wealth over the long term.  

My fears are definitely heat sources.

I’ve never considered hard-money…tbh its something I’m not sure is right for me but I say that mostly out of fear due to not knowing about that process or what to expect and less because I can say I’ve explored it. 2.

It's also not anything to fear as long as you understand it. 

I'm eager to get started into the investment world, but fear and the unknown seem to be the reasonI haven't started yet.

After listening to some BP episodes and reading a few books I was definitely absorbed for a bit, but shortly realized I didn’t have the funds to do so, so I needed to save and kind of gave up on learning anything else.I was always on and off with the idea of REI because of the costs and also the fear of failing (which is normal), but now I’ve “flipped the switch,” and this is something I know I want to do.
