I have a similar goal of living in Europe, at least for part of the year, however I'm afraid I'd have to be a lot more hands off with my real estate investments.

I sure hope not, but I'm afraid you're about to tell me you do.

I think I've been afraid to outsource eviction--or even do it!

The biggest mistake was being afraid of vacancy.

Last weekend someone who went to that house actually abandoned a car in the driveway of our property and it had to be towed.I am someone who isn't afraid of conflict or having a tough conversation. 

I'm all about having strong opinionated people and surrounding yourself with those who are smarter than yourself and who are not afraid to tell you the truth.I would like to obtain and move into a 3rd property(townhome) in a nice neighborhood.

I have fresh eyes and am not afraid to invest some sweat equity.

Learning to deal with ups and downs is experience, going through it instead of around is success.Be encouraged @Fran Pratt; people who are afraid to make mistakes take no risks and are doomed to mediocrity.

Not wear and tear.Don't be afraid to use your insurance for legitimate claims that are significantly more than your deductible.
