Obviously finding the deals, and at the right price is the hardest hurdle these days.

What are the common hurdles in this approach, appraisal without renter?

Just as that white man places his kids on the track for success with several hurdles cleared, so am I.

Still, I'm a naturalized citizen myself, and I would be extra careful with anything related to immigration.If your plan faces hurdles, you can allow your CPA to file your tax return as is with an intention to amend later thru another accountant.

You could offer to allow earnest money to become non-refundable after certain hurdles in the escrow process (inspection, financing, etc). 

Hey bigger pocket fam,I’m working out my first deal that I’m excited about but the hurdles keep coming.

And I think the major hurdle from learning curve to action to results is a different experience for everyone.

Under the American Disability Act, a Landlord is not required to accommodate a request that is unreasonable and/or poses risk to others or an undue burden.

That's the next big hurdle in this; but I think it's safe to say next 2 years is flat to decline in rental price growth and year 3 will be a small, sub inflation bump. 

Am I being unreasonably cautious?
