I have a few concerns that I wanted to get people's thoughts on. 1 - Selling a quadraplex 10-20 years down the road seems like it may be challenging as the market for that type of asset is small.

Developing that trust with someone you don't know may seem like a challenge, but if you approach it correctly, you should be able to achieve a pretty solid foundation of trust.The best way is to talk to others who have had an experience investing with the sponsor already.

Living and working overseas can present unique challenges when it comes to securing financing, but there are definitely loan options designed for situations like yours.

One of my rental properties is located in a low-income area, which presents unique challenges in finding suitable tenants.

The challenge is being liquid enough for acquisition, marketing, and closing to hold these properties for 36 months minimum.Thoughts on what is a fair partnership in this scenario?

The challenge is knowing if the listing agent actually tells your offer to the seller or not.For example, if a distressed property is $650k and you want to offer $620k, the listing agent says the lowest the seller may accept is $645k, but is that actually true or made up because the listing agent wants their commission?

Drop the arrogant attitude when challenged, drop the canned responses, and actually address the comments or questions themselves4.

You’ll often see sales with 100-200% swings within the same area, which makes having deep local knowledge and understanding the nuances absolutely critical.I do this for a living, and even with experience, comping in Detroit can still be challenging.

- Network with local agents and investors, so you start getting first crack at new deals.If you can amp up the cashflow on the first duplex, you can use the extra cash to:- Pay down the mortgage, setting yourself up for a future refinance to free up your VA Entitlement.OR- For your next acquisition.One of your biggest challenges will to keep the cash flowing when you move out of a duplex.

New built for starting out could be a bit challenging.
