A rental crunch is exactly what my market is going through right now- no inventory and rents continuing to rise significantly.There is a great deal of anxiety amongst all of us when it comes to vetting.

Why tie an anchor around my neck and also give myself all that potential financial anxiety and stress?   

Many sleepless nights and anxiety filled days to get these properties off the ground .

Once the tenant is in the property of course they request a dog (for emotional support due to their anxiety), owner says no...they later come up with a letter from a therapist (someone who has yet to return my calls) and in the letter it states according to the FEDERAL Fair Housing Act, you cannot prohibit someone with an ESA from living in the premises and having the animal.

I went through a local bank that I had established a relationship with when I refied my primary residence.The anxiety I experienced through the process was entirely my fault - it wasn't that big a deal.

So am spending some time reading about that, but am learning that part of overcoming that anxiety may just be in the doing of the thing.

Hi Bryan,I'll just add yet another vote for Paper Profits and also suggest "Performance Anxiety" by Gordon Moss.

A backup DST would greatly alleviate the my anxiety.

And there is an issue on the roof that doesn’t seem to be too big of an issue, I suppose my hesitation is because I don’t want to take on too much in a rehab on my first property, and I have a little anxiety about the foundation.
