I fear the financial stress will be great without having anymore additional income than my 8-5 job.

So, to compound a death in the family, and to manage an estate sale, greedy Heirs, and the fear of making the right choice need that extra special attention.   

I feel like I have my bases covered, but am wondering if I'm missing anything obvious or if you have any tried and true questions that help weed out the bad ones.Overall - can you help me get over the fear I'm having about handing my units to a company who (seemingly) will sweep in, re-lease to their paperwork (thus charging me 8 re-leasing fees), disrupt the tenant and their current habits (all of which are well-trained save for an older Section8 gentleman) and ask them to make changes? 

Once you rent for X amount of time it takes to save a more sizable down payment (20-30k) you can pull the trigger with no fear because you know your market.

But I can't live my entire life in fear of these events. 

I've heard similar fears and predictions for over 15 years...including the global recession almost 10 years ago, yet all the while living here, I've experienced quite the opposite.

"Be fearful when people are greedy and greedy when people are fearful" 

I'm working on getting over it, but need any and all suggestions for alleviating that fear when so much cash is on the line.  

For more experienced investors, what helped you get over fear in the past when you were new?
