Fear of getting a bad deal that produces negative cash flow for my first deal would big the biggest thing holding me back. 

That is a fortress balance sheet and you should have nothing to fear in any economic cycle.

The number one fear of new landlords is placing tenants, so this adds a comfort level for them.

Turnovers are expensive but nowadays with rental prices going up we don't fear them.

Wanted to check here before calling a lawyer which is where I fear this will end up. 

This is in the Hampton Roads, Virginia Area,  specifically Norfolk.Issue:I am now trying to sell this property and have been in contract for the last month, 6 days until closing, and the buyer's underwriter is now red flagging this zoning issue and I fear the loan may no longer go through, and this may present an issue selling to anyone using a VA/FHA/Conventional Loan.  

Hi David,Similar to what @Sam Smith said in regards to the fear of high origination fees.

Something else that concerns me is that I am self-employed, and new to it as well, so I fear I most likely will not be able to qualify for traditional financing to buy properties.

I think I am just nervous to do anything at this point for fear of making the wrong choice, yet again.
