I can agree with Kelly that the psychological aspect of carrying DEBT is the HARDEST weight on the shoulders at times.Here's my situation:I'm 26, own my own business have an income that's six-figure+.

The original question was could one find a property that would shoulder 50% operating expenses AND pay a 100% financed mortgage?

Just tgree years ago same homes were at 130k-150 max brand new so I'm worfied aboht a crash sometime in the future 10+ years from now but thats why I want to invest in another market and have a property management company take the work off my shoulders in the areas I listed...I have not talked to a bank yet to see what I woukd even qualify for in the range they set.

To be nonthreatening, put your feet in front of you, shoulders out, and, your stomach relaxed.

If you're at ground zero and you want to get into some bigger deals, you simply must bring some sort of value to the table.Listen to how @Joe Fairless explains it here:Standing On The Shoulders Of Giants

There have been a few bumps in the road but thankfully I have an excellent property management team who has lifted a lot of burden off my shoulders. 

I would say buying a distressed house and depending on someone to fix it up after the sell is a huge risk--a risk that falls 100% on your shoulders. 

That said, the devil on my shoulder wants me to find out just how low these lien holders are willing to negotiate.

People are willing to work with me and I don't have to look over my shoulder after a deal is done.

I want to be hands on and be in control of the deal, but at the same time I want to let them do their job and not be looking over their shoulder the entire time.
