I do like the idea that my mortage rates are fixed for 30 years at 5% if i were to rent out my Chicago property, but feel uneasy becoming a out-of-state land lord for two properties.

What an uneasy feeling it is to know that the company you trusted with your investment properties is leveraging against you as you plan for your future as they simply 'forget" major issues!

If a seller is uneasy thinking a CFD is easy for them, educate them (careful, if you know more than they do in some deals they won't sell to you, good indication of a scammer, BTW)  you can agree in the note to higher initial payments to acquire more equity giving the seller enough to pay for those foreclosure costs that are never going to happen.

It would make me very uneasy....... very easy to make stuff look great for a TV show and be total crap in person.I'm a car guy and I've watched a lot of the renovation car shows over the years.....

In our area, either the recipient pays 30% of the monthly rent OR they simply receive a voucher for a rent amount and HUD pays the entire amount.For tenants paying 30% of the rent, I need 3-4x their portion of the rent each month in income.But 100% voucher tenants often don't have employment.I'm more uneasy about renting to full voucher applicants BUT...I'm sure they already have a hard enough time finding places to rent as it is, and I'd like to be the sort of landlord who gives people a chance when others won't.

But honestly I don’t know much about syndication besides what my lawyers taught me..yet I already did one, and this contribute to my uncomfortable unconfident feeling.not sure if anything above makes sense…I really felt it’s either dumb luck or its too good to be true and there’s a catch I didn’t know about, and this made me feeling very uneasy about the whole thing.

While it may make you feel uneasy that so many other people have found success in REI and have built quite an impressive portfolio, I also find it reassuring that investing CAN work.

I tell my agents that sometimes it's best to open the door and let the client walk through while remaining outside, if you feel uneasy. 

The team is what is going to make you either uneasy or comforted. 

I just have always felt uneasy about investing a substantial portion of my wealth and signing on a personal guarantee for a bank loan for something that is outside my direct reach.
