I dont operate my business out of fear.. and i screen my tenants.. so no.. and im struggling to find the value in your comment, care to elaborate?  

I reached out to one company, and I believe that they have the bells and whistles and service that help to ease the fears of OOS investors, but seems like the investors do pay a premium for that service.

Be Greedy When Others Are Fearful - Warren Buffett

Did you ever FEAR for your life?

Hi Alex, my advice for you would be to prepare a solid investor packet for them, regardless of relations: friends/family or Hard Money lenders, show them how you will put their money to work for them, the investment strategy and how it works, allay their fears by addressing risk, how you are protecting them and what your risk mitigation strategy is, Breakdown the deal for them and Address the benefits of why it is they should invest in you and your system versus keep their money elsewhere.

people who invested in 2009 and 2010 during peak fear and uncertainty did great.

The X-Factor in all of these shenanigans is emotion/fear.

What I fear is retaliation and the house being vandalized.

I guess we don't want to look back on all this and realize we were the "fearful" in Buffet's quote, when we should have been "greedy".  

I only have 20k in cash because I put a new roof on the remodel property in fear of rain this summer and it was already leaking.
