Again, I am so excited to get to know so many of you at Bigger Pockets and rub shoulders with the best! 

Pros: Reduce overall risk, have help to shoulder inevitable burdens, keep more cashflow from current property. 

Like Gabe was saying, it probably isn't a bad idea to go to some local meetups and rub shoulders with some people who have been doing this a while and don't mind sharing some of their contacts with you.Good luck!

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.
