What would you say to yourself on that first day knowing what you know now to make that path of REI a little easier or less anxiety filled?

There is a lot of anxiety among realtors with VA financing, just because it's such a different animal.

It carries anxiety, concern, uncertainty, hesitancy, indecision and inaction.  

I would love to hear your stories of investing in a down market, how you prepared for the "wave", your expectations v.s. reality, challenges and resolutions, and ultimately how everything - including the anxiety and uncertainty - payed off!

Vacancies cause me anxiety, but bad tenants cause a lot more.

The good prospective tenants get anxiety about finding a place so when they see a place that fits their criteria they in most cases want to see it ASAP when they have free time. 

I don't know about anyone else but there was a lot of anxiety with the appraisal.  

The income isn't worth the stress and anxiety after your first hack.

If you can eliminate the stress and anxiety of next week (and those after, if he pursues this) for $250 and focus your attention elsewhere, is it worth considering?

Late fees will not make up for the bad will or anxiety created.
