@Violet Barnes those fears is exactly why its good to proceed.

My fear is that it's reacting to something harmful in the air.

Thank you James, it wasn’t scaring me away too much but it did have me thinking, but I feel that since I’m so early in this game I’m still dealing with that nervousness and fear at times since that stuff isn’t easy to shake off.

50k is a reasonable minimum for many banks, though they tend to be more expense. 60k is where you want to be. if your bank wont do less than 100, find a different one. easy fix. you need to get over this fear of spending "big" money, change your mindset of what you think is big. it doesn't matter if its' 30K, 300K, or 300MM, you're not making any of the payments, the tenants are.

There are some that believe that it is good government policy to have your population living in fear, particularly financial fear.

When I first started out investing in real estate, I was quite fearful of getting involved in a "Bad Deal".

My greatest fear with real estate is exactly what this thread is dealing with.

I'd never get into business with someone who can't write, as I'd fear missing something MAJOR in a contract or otherwise.

If past experience on other forums/boards is any indication of future actions, I'm probably going to be lurking, asking a few questions here and there, and generally gaining lots of information about the subject before I put it into action.That said, my biggest "fear" right now is analysis paralysis.

I question whether I should have a management company lease the building, in fear it will set vacant, too long.
