Hopefully the seller is fearful of one.   

I fear that too many people are succumbing to recency bias (availability heuristic) owing to the memory of the last housing-led meltdown. 

My fear is repairs out weighing return.

i have 180k in CASH and 0 DEBT with a perfect credit score. my 2018 income was at 44-46k my 2019 income will be anywhere from 80-120k will be sorted out when i file taxes.since i live for free iam,,, thinking to buy my first property and put it out for rent, looking at a property that i can buy and rent for the next two years.. something i possibly could end up living in when i get married later on. looking to buy in fontana, CA houses are nice there and not so expensive it seems like a nice area that i would not regret living in later on after i decide to no longer rent the place, i can easily put the 20% down payment and if the plan works out and the house gets rented i can have the property pay for itself and build equity. while i may go back to school.please give me as much advice as possible, my only fear is that i may not be able to rent the place out and end up having to pay the 2.5 monthly payments.thanks in advance.

Nobody wants to move due to fears of virus.

I was starting to fear that I would have to pick one or the other.

I will tell you though that one of the banks biggest fears is going under deposit and it not closing, so if they think one offer may have a high likelihood of falling apart, they might be able to justify that it's better to take the definite cash deal now (if the numbers are close).If you want this edge, be sure to make an all around SOLID Offer:- 10% Deposit- Proof of Funds- No Mortgage Contingency- No Inspections- Close before the end of the month.If the offers are very close, with these terms you might have a chance .. but if your $5-10k+ less than the 203k Rehab Loan, they will probably take the rehab loan.Also keep in mind that in most cases the banks do not care if you have inspections, or a mortgage contingency. 

Oftentimes when people are stuck in analysis paralysis, part of that [fear] can be based on not having a solid enough education on what the heck it is you're doing.

If you have even a slight chance of winning the argument, that call from the board will likely put the fear of God in the property manager and he will cut you loose rather than face an investigation from the state.

My fear was I would get roped into a lawsuit if she brought the dog back and it attacked one of the neighbor's children, or continued to cause issues with the neighbor.
