My biggest fear or weaknesses will be trusting lenders, trusting Real Estate Agents, and trusting contractors.

Brokers are calling you back because of slow deal flow, and while everyone is fearful, as Buffet says, you need to be greedy.Ultimately, it's only time if you're ready.  

Some of them being: that they purchased the property very long time ago and don't need a massive amount of income to cash flow, they are fearful of raising rents and having a vacancy, or they just don't wanna deal with it anymore.Either way, this is where the opportunity lies for the new Investor.

However, there's a floor for interest rates due to fears of inflation resurgence, particularly in housing prices.

That is my fear of getting called due and still being associated with the property after closing.

Partner can or you can hire a pm2) property has not enough equity to heloc or sell at return but prospective partner is willing to buy into the partnership. 3) even if the partnership ends up being short lived, there is an opportunity for further appreciation in that span.4) you fear the risk of a poor season.  

@John SteffenInvesting in house hacking or purchasing a primary residence for rental can be challenging due to affordability, vacancy fear, high interest rates, maintenance concerns, and location analysis.

@Joe P. your questions are based in fear and it's probably something that can be solved through education.

We fear that Lakewood is over-inflated on purchase price for multi-family properties.

Contractors live in fear of this because it sticks on their record forever when a new potential customer looks them up.
