Either way, it continues to be a great and anxiety inducing learning experience.

My experience with real estate investing and anxiety reduction comes from putting numbers on things.

Contaminants in the air in our homes and buildings from household cleaners to hairsprays and everything in between have a tendency to react with and oxidize the copper used in air conditioning coils.

If the problems are only anxiety then get a mentor and talk yourself through it.

This first deal is nearly giving me anxiety.

It would be so unthinkful to get rid of it ,seems like the anxiety with the buyers trying to scrape for the purchase before the deadline is ona rise...and am sure since it had given such a tremendous jump start to buying power....

I'm writing this post as a follow-up to a post I made over on the investor psychology forum about the downside, isolation and anxiety resulting from achieving wealth - and I was really grateful to see an outpouring of support and great advice (rather than insults, which I was anticipating).I said I'd write another post with the story of how I and my family got to a substantial net worth (by mom and pop standards) over the years.

She basically has anxiety about thoughts of having to deal with tenant and repair nightmares to the point of where she thinks it would take a mental and physical toll on health and so understandably has massive aversion to the idea.

Being the first rental, and to avoid anxiety and future RE investment growth I would seriously consider seeking the help of a listing agent to assist with the tenant location and application.

You have heard this before; Overcoming your fears, and anxiety is the biggest hurdle that can be alleviated with adequate education of REISelf Study ->Paid-Education (local REIA), ->Meet, ->Volunteer -> finding a Mentor is the process I'm embracing at this point.Good Luck !
