We do feel like we are throwing money away helping her with rent when we could be putting it towards an investment property instead, but there is always the fear of pulling the trigger on the first home that isn't your primary. 

Many of the investors I work with have a healthy fear of making a wrong or bad decision.

I’ll be honest, I am a bit fearful of him and how he could react.

@Gregory HerbertTruly market dependentSome sellers will List a home below market value with offers due by a date to spur excitement The whole fear of missing out which is absolutely true in the real world and in life.

If you are an out of town investor then I fear investments in this neighborhood (and those like it, Toledo has several) will result in an overall portfolio with higher-than expected wear-and-tear, lower resident financial stability directly translating to shorter times between re-leasing events, and I am curious how much higher the values can go (From $60k pre-2009 to $8k when I bough and I am now steadily see $60k listings again...even a $90k one!).

All will be well as I should have 690K as soon as on house closes next month and and refi comes through, is my less safe may just be my fear....So I'm trying to reduce the risk and know all I can possibly know. 

If you keep on this path of fear based assumptive emotional decision making, it's gonna burn ya.

The agent doesn't want to mention anything for fear of liability. 

Don't listen to these two, they are talking about investing based on fear and recent memory as opposed to what makes sense for your goals. 

Again, we have found the 30 day guarantee can help alleviate this fear since it gives the team time to understand those variables and communicate them to the client.
