There're many specific hurdles to overcome as many here have stated, and I'm willing to get over them to take my first steps.

However, the one ingredient in this situation that hasn't been present before, is the Fed tampering with interest rates to keep mortgages artificially low - unreasonably so - and now they've taken the foot off of the gas completely.  

The main hurdle that many of our borrowers face are the income aspect of it, especially expensive markets like the West coast.

City council says the bill would not be considered until after the council meeting this month.Rochester’s Housing Quality Task Force expands focus to homeownersIn order to evict a tenant or deny a renewal, landlords would have to prove the tenant did not pay rent and that it did not result from an unreasonable increase in rent, the tenant violated an obligation of the lease, is being a nuisance or doing illegal activity, or unreasonably refusing to give a landlord access, among others.

They can be found all over the state.The biggest hurdle you will face is financing and supply of dealsI own a 24 and 12 unit here in Columbus, Ohio.

That's another good tool for wealth building when used correctly.Once you jump that first hurdle it gets a lot easier. 

I am under contract to buyOffer was made with inspection contingency Seller agreed to repair or replace furnace a week agoI asked my realtor to check on the progress of seller and they have no real news for me a week later, other than an HVAC guy was on property- per sellers realtorMy loan is conditionally approved pending appraisalI told my realtor I’m not ordering the appraisal until I am satisfied with the progress being made to fix/ replace furnacIs that unreasonable?

@Wai-Ming LauIt is not unreasonable to ask that and see what they say. 

I would assume that the fire marshall would not be pleased if they saw this mess...Lastly, just from a common-sense perspective, if someone has so much stuff that it's stacked to the ceiling and spilling out all over the yard, then that's an unreasonable amount of stuff, and it's time for the tenant to get a storage unit (or rent a larger place).Think of it this way: If a tenant owned ten cars, you wouldn't let them park all over the yard and take up every parking space.

If you have a hungry lender who wants to get deals done they will identify the gaps and give you options to overcome the hurdles.
