@Kara CourtneyFunding under $50k loan amounts gets difficult.

It was difficult to remodel and I had a massive amount of sweat equity. 

My reasoning is because I simply do not qualify for a loan for any properties out here and units that are being sold off in smaller multi-family properties have ridiculous HOA rules that make it quite difficult to cash flow or just pencil out in general.

Licensing and financing can be difficult.

Yeah, those property values would be difficult.

The one and only time I've heard Dave Ramsey address the idea of "good debt" and "bad debt" with enough time given to make a complicated point, he talked about how difficult it is, specifically in real estate, to precisely calculate the risk of these investments. 

Def thank your tenant for keeping communication channels alive during a difficult time for them and for finding a solution to their problem VS making it yours.  

I do flips in different states and countries, so it makes it more difficult to keep an eye on the properties but sharing all the lessons I've learnt the hard, and expensive way.  

It was difficult managing all the stakeholders (from closing the deal to fixing the property to renting it).

If a balance sheet is required for each business, getting them to balance can be difficult to balance.
