Sometimes landlords don't raise rents for years on fear of losing good paying tenants.

I would second the "introduce, calm fears that everything will change, and don't change anything unless necessary".  

I changed my job and increased my income to overcome that fear.

We love to sell fear in America.

This leads me to my fear and my questions. 

It seems pretty clear to me that the only people I’d be selling these lower end houses to would be other investors and my fear is that all I’d really be doing is working for wages in the end which defeats the purpose of taking the risk to begin with (I could be wrong).

I just fear moving from here to there and having it end being low in supply.

You then need to get educated and informed by the right people which leads to the second obstacle- Fear : who to trust ?
