But on the note of acting quick, I have definitely heard more than once that you really can't afford hesitation or fear of evicting.

Since I was 17 I wanted to learn about investing in real estate but the fear of losing money took control of me.

"Fear" has been holding me back getting my first property and I don't want to delay it any longer.

I will withhold saying too much, for fear of coming off as a 'fan-boy.' 

But I have to guess that, with an average rent of ($6,900/12) $575 per unit, per month, it isn't an A/A.My biggest fear is that you might be (unintentionally) portraying this incorrectly to a J/V partner.  

Anything posted by news agencies is generally to induce either fear or a frenzy so try not to read to much into them its more or less BS 90% of the time.

I have considered mobile homes but fear of the unknown has deterred me.

It was my goal having been in this space longer than just about anyone in the industry ( started in 2001) to give the public feedback and to root out some of the really poor players and maybe we have done that they are not on the site and are underground for fear of being outed. ? 

The only advice I could give you have already done which is to release any fears about taking that first step and take action!

After every analysis, something tends to hold me back...maybe fear or temptation.
