That's amplified as a newer investor because you aren't going to be able to call BS like someone experienced might be.If you are able to work with the right folks you can do extremely well.

As I mentioned before, the cost to do so would be extreme and your interest rate would be higher. 

When there are options, unless your place is extremely special, the only way you can compete is on price.

This is extremely helpful. 

In any case, I am a big advocate for investor couples -- I've seen many of them do extremely well in this REI business. 

Hey Joseph, I'm probably the most prolific Detroit investor here on BP.I own 12-doors there myself... should be 14 but that duplex is held up in probate right now.Beyond that, I'm also extremely active with other investors wanting to get started in the market there.

Quote from @Judson Heess: I think you're worrying yourself over something that is extremely unlikely to happen.You aren't evicting your tenant.

Here is an extreme example but I think it proves the point.
