If you are interested in non-performing loans, look for Performance Anxiety by Gordon Moss and see if that's for you, too.

Trying to find a mentor/partner has been a little rough but I know my anxiety will be kicked to the curb once I find that mentor.

I read "Performance Anxiety", I found it very informative.  

I'm generally not a shy person and don't have any social anxiety about networking per se.I've decided I'm going to join the Columbia REIA after the move.

They’re considered companion animals and ease anxiety, depression, some phobias, and loneliness.

That eliminates this anxiety for your first deal.  

You will have to deal with a case of bedbugs, a tenant will overdose on heroine, a tenant will not pay and you'll have to evict, you will get a call that they have found mold, you will (insert what ever nightmare that person tells you about that drove them out of the rental business).You know what, it is nothing you can not handle and each experience that you go through will teach you that as a landlord and investor you have the skills and mindset to be very successful and all of your fears and anxiety were just in the way.

I see a slow motion, unfolding train wreck of financial misery, sleepless nights, anxiety medication, panic attacks, and avoiding answering the phone and lots of registered mail.

Marie, for removing my anxiety about a potentially missing deed.Ru

Let me know if you guys need any other info, I'm just trying to ease some 1st time buyers anxiety.
