CBDC's also do not address the weakness of fiat -  unlimited supply. 

But, I often I see their greatest strength become their greatest weakness.

All contractors have strengths and weaknesses and they sub out some work.

So you're beliefs and experience can get in the way either way.From a strategic point find ways to maximize your strengths-professionalism, confidence etc while minimizing your (perceived) weaknesses-inexperience.

It's a giant headache and if it's doable, I totally recommend folks start locally so you know what your strong and weak points are, what you need to keep an eye on in out-of-town investments, what your strategy really is (often not what you started out as), etc.  

I wouldn't tell the sellers that, its none of their business and yes, it makes your offer look weak in my opinion.

Here is what I take from this thread: 1) As a owner I can not control my emotions.2) Owners are weak and need to hide behind the PM hat.3) Owners are not perceived as being professional.4) Owners are embarrassed to take ownership of their rules. 5) Owner are required to talk to their tenants about their personal life.6) Owners are not legitimate business people.7) I am not capable of enforcing my own rules.My perception is that these are the comments of easy chair investors not landlords.

To figure out what area of investing you want to explore, find within yourself your strengths and weaknesses and find out which one can be tolerated the most when dealing with money.

There might be a lot more going on in the lawsuit but all I have to go on is this article.Again, don't know the guy, I didn't even hear the podcast you guys mentioned, I just think we shouldn't condemn the guy based on a clickbait headline and weak allegations that anyone that knows the business can call BS on... 

Agreed, one needs to be careful with rental income guarantees hiding a weakness in the underlying market (or price you paid).
