The doctor found out that I was going to visit those 10 to speak in person with the borrowers and try to decide on the best course of action.  

Thanks ahead of time!

However, i need good funding partners to push ahead in order to take calculated risks.  

Starting with fix and flips sounds like a fun adventure, and looking into short-term rentals shows you're thinking ahead.

if you have another investment opportunity ahead then why not cut your losses, sell for what you can and move on to the next opportunity?

Hello BiggerPockets Community,The real estate landscape is continuously evolving, and staying ahead of the curve requires innovative thinking and strategies.

I always have family and friends giving me negatives like " what is it doesn't rent" or who is going to "pay that much for rent" or "what if the tenant burns the house down" are these realistic situations and how do I prepare and understand to to come back if anything like this happens how do I plan ahead.3. should I go for a newer house with little to no rehab for 415,000 or something like 350,000 with like 10-20 in rehab?

You would like to be able to do the things you want (travel, take classes, read, exercise, visit friends/family) without the constraints of a 9-5. 

I started doing this a couple of years ahead to reinvest and drain the taxable balance down.
