One of the reasons why I’m bullish on real estate investing is because I am more afraid of the “what if I didn’t invest” rather than the “what if it goes wrong.”Yes, I could fail and lose everything I started with, but I’d still be farther along than if I never started at all.I’d have the knowledge, skills, and lessons that only come from taking action.Every misstep is a step forward when you’re learning and adapting.The real risk isn’t failure, it’s standing still and letting fear hold you back.Take action!!!

I’d recommend holding onto the property if you can manage it.

Those other probs have now gone away plus I'm making a lot more dough from my regular work/day job these days.

Nobody has a crystal ball or knows what the future holds.
