But what was that thing that pushed that voice aside and said, "I need to do this".

So put a firm voice in your stead. 

You also might want to get a 'ghost' number through something like Google voice to use on those signs to make it difficult for code enforcers to deliver a fine.

<--- all of this is very academic coming from me because I've not had a bad tenants, I've just studied a lot about landlords in Ontario who have and made sure I didn't do what they did (non-professional, emotional, giving leeway and chances, not doing proper tenant screening, not setting expectations).

By the time you are closing on the first property, you will have honed the fundamentalsnegotiation - it will feel like you have to think about a lot of things all-at-once, and it will all feel new. truth is, its not really that difficult, it's just the new-ness that can overwhelm folks at first. networking - talking to folks in the business and finding your voice: agents/brokers, property managers, fellow investorWe own some SFR investments, as well... but we didn't learn nearly as much buying them, as when we purchased a duplex.

I placed 50 bandit signs over the weekend and am now getting threatening calls to my Google voice number from the dreaded sign police!

I typically let those go to voice mail (im dont like being on the phone) so I try and get them as much info as I can in the email that they get. 

Hang them HIGH and with a google voice number.

@Brian Pulaski, The the problem is,  lenders are simply terrified as they're not used to saying what they know to be facts if it's at odds with the establishment Realtors' reviews on any subject in a public forum.They aren't typically cowards, just their view is limited and voice muffled from their position of being so far up north, that you can't tell where they end, and the other begins.On the other hand, Realtors are not used to a mortgage broker challenging their opinions and comments in a public forum either.
