Yes, I’ve also spent well over 20 years in the military and I’ve seen how fear aversion can often silence others or in this case, encourage inaction.

People fear confrontation so badly that they think just throwing money at problems fixes them.

These may be un-founded fears? 

@Bjorn Ahlblad Exactly my fear with Hughes Net.

The argument for 10%,20% etc is lenders can leverage secondary market and argue "above market" rent can be applied towards down payment - which truly does help someone who cannot save up for a down payment and feels like they are building "equity" in the home.Of course you are free to make number whatever you like but i see between 0-25%There is no option here, unless you have no fear of risk.  

One thing that has held me back is my fear of handing the financials properly. 

Some of my main goals for 2022 are to continue to find likeminded partners, join a mastermind group, grow my property management business as we are managing all our rentals in-house, bring my brother to the business and start a GC business with him, give back to my church and the community in every single way I can and stay healthy for my family.I will close it out with this message to everyone sitting on the sidelines because of fear; I am also a father of two babies, my wife stays home, and I still have my Engineering Job.

Many of these questions, I fear, are questions best suited for a professional: Lawyer, Contractor, Agent.

Getting over the fear factor was the first step.
