And the fear is that this may be the new norm there. 

Hi,I was all educated and ready to go a couple of years back until I let fear derail me. 

Our ultimate fear is that we dump $50,000 into this property for a very small return.

My biggest fear or weaknesses will be trusting lenders, trusting Real Estate Agents, and trusting contractors.

Brokers are calling you back because of slow deal flow, and while everyone is fearful, as Buffet says, you need to be greedy.Ultimately, it's only time if you're ready.  

Some of them being: that they purchased the property very long time ago and don't need a massive amount of income to cash flow, they are fearful of raising rents and having a vacancy, or they just don't wanna deal with it anymore.Either way, this is where the opportunity lies for the new Investor.

However, there's a floor for interest rates due to fears of inflation resurgence, particularly in housing prices.

Partner can or you can hire a pm2) property has not enough equity to heloc or sell at return but prospective partner is willing to buy into the partnership. 3) even if the partnership ends up being short lived, there is an opportunity for further appreciation in that span.4) you fear the risk of a poor season.  

@John SteffenInvesting in house hacking or purchasing a primary residence for rental can be challenging due to affordability, vacancy fear, high interest rates, maintenance concerns, and location analysis.

That is my fear of getting called due and still being associated with the property after closing.
