Penny Mac, who services VA loans, was very slow and hard to get a hold of. 

They sold themselves as a fast hard money lender, but were slow and required more paperwork than any bank.

I feel the same way.I think we should be slow to paint everybody teaching notes with the same brush. 

Check under sinks if you can, many times slow leaks occur there that go unreported.6.

Pick a market drill deep into that market, learn the market and success will follow.

Population continues at a slow decline but the renter to homeowner ratios are good.

Or at the very least some positive feedback/ vote of confidence because this road is extremely overwhelming and very pressured to quit or slow down.

Both are notoriously bad and slow.  

If you haven't done so already, do a deep dive into what 1BR vs 2BR rents are for properties of a similar size, in the same neighborhood, and with similar interior finishes to yours, and this will help better inform whether or not the investment makes financial sense.Investment Horizon. 

So I’m good starting off slow.
