Yuuj,There is no harm in being patient. 

I would need to trust that a person would not steal my things or harm my pets.The ideal situation would be to not have a roommate but financially it would help me out a great deal.

Purchasing on-line has got to cut into the business of the small local shops.I don't see where it would do much to harm the office building/ restaurant type of commercial.

If the numbers work, then "no harm done".

The last thing I look to do is harm people. 

As long as they close as agreed, no harm no foul. 

Naturally, these factors harm your ability to do the buy and hold path.

@Jason MaThere is no harm in applying - test the waters and see what is available in regards to jobs and pay.I would have to imagine though that you would be offered more money in public accounting since you are a CPA with experience.So you would have to figure that into your calculations of capital required for your real estate purchases.Have you discussed talking with your employer for a reduced hours?

@Bryan DevittI agree, at this point opening the walls can do no harm.

Not common, but unless the buyer is trying get out of their listing agreement, then no harm no foul.
