In my experience, this is the part that typically hangs new investors up the most. 

I'm in between renting it out or doing a live in flip, but I'd say I'd like to do both by doing a less intense fix n flip, then hanging onto the property once I move in a year or two.

I’d hang onto it with that 3% rate if you can afford to eat that 1k/month.

People that tell you it’s dangerous may be hanging with the wrong crowd, or involved with different circles or stuck in some time warp.

Kitchen lower cabinets doors are all stained, damaged by hanging metal bars and water- not sure what to do.

It also taught me perseverance because there wasn't a ton of those deals just hanging out in Denver!

But how could I not be on edge when the entire deal, and our reputation, was hanging by a thread?

Don't go for low hanging fruit. 

Stop hanging out with your deadbeat buddies who spend all day drinking, talking sports, and otherwise wasting away.

Recently, my tenants have expressed concerns of people hanging out in the front of their units, creating some uneasiness - to the point where they want to exit their lease for safety reasons.
