That person in that SUV paid over twice what I'm paying for a duplex.So for me the only fear (so far) was when I saw the settlement statement.

I am a real estate agent, but I understand those fears completely.

Maybe I am too fearful but I don't see anybody on these boards talking about the credit crunch much and how it will effect their ability to resell the homes they are trying to SS.Or else, you somehow think these lenders in trouble are going to help us SS investors get more deals approved.

I'll be cutting into the floor and fear that there may be raw sewage under the house (the leak wasn't the first hint!).

Combined Rents 1250.00 per monthIt sounds like I might get away with no money down, but my fear is that he is going to ask too high of a monthly payment to meet the 50% rule.

. - Hope: Too many marketers are appealing to fear---although fear is a compelling emotional trigger, the majority of people don't want to be reminded what they will lose, they want to be reassured that there is a chance for recovery

Thanks to you guys I feel a lil bit less fear as I'm sure you guys know starting out by yourself can be a lil intimidating.

You should always be prepared before getting into a rehab, but make sure you don't let your fear paralyze you from acting.

I think you just need to jump in first to overcome your fear.

Fear not for there is someone all ways listening when you need to speak and be heard.
