Just have to see a couple of these in action and completed to get my confidence up. 

Do not be lulled into inaction by a sense that there are not problems now so why not wait.

I would lean towards passive because those issues above are the little headaches in active real estate. 

I viewed the profiles of the list I tag, and 30% have been inactive over a year.

There were two that were still in active leases, so re screening would not have done much for me.

@Mateusz PrawdzikYou make a really excellent point about not using my age as an excuse to be inactive, and waiting until this one right moment to invest, because chances are, there's not really a correct time to jump into investing.

I had a 60 hour a week corporate job, and 3 small kids at home, and it was always easy to justify any amount of inaction by pointing to how busy I was. 

I don't have much background in real estate other than obtaining my real estate license when I was 19 and sitting on it until I made it inactive (I was young and lost at the time).

I'm pre-approved for the full amount, and mortgage + PMI + prop insurance = ~2000$.However, I now understand the inaction or paralysis that I hear thrown around this site and on the podcasts.

She said they can negotiate before the property is in foreclosure, but that once it is in active foreclosure (they are waiting for confirmation of a sale date from the judge) there is a law that requires them to collect the full amount.
