Anyway, I saw a Lorex 8 camera NVR system today at the costco and thought that would calm down some nerves but I know me and it's going to really make me angry and stressed constantly because my tenants are inept and would be breaking a new house rule every other day, smoking indoors, bungee jumping off the roof, throwing firecrackers at cars, urinating in the front yard while spinning in circles etc and I'd be right there at the camera watching it and letting my blood pressure go through the roof, also I would be on the only house on the block with cameras and the police would be hitting me up nonstop every time another house on the block was broken into asking for footage because none of the other landlords here want cameras for the exact same reason.

I’ve considered buying quality buy and hold assets with the line, but with current market conditions that’s a little nerve racking.

@Will Stewart are you examining just 1 apartment unit? 

You would still need pass their state exam in most cases.

I have no experience with this and it’s a little nerve wracking because I live in California and I’m afraid of picking the wrong tenant or having a flaw in the lease agreement.

I suspect you have little to no experience in searching and examining chains of title or an understanding of what causes the vast majority of title disputes or an understanding of what losses a title insurance policy indemnifies against. 

 I believe any (or at least most) title companies will examine the full chain because things can resurface or come up after the fact.

Again, others might feel differently here.3) property level due diligence: (takes seconds to weeks per deal): here is where I drill in with the low-level details.a) pro forma popping: I examine all the assumptions, and see if they are overoptimistic or not.

I passed my real estate exam in May.  

From experience, it is all nerve racking when you get started and there is nothing wrong with feeling that way!
