One bad deal may wreck your entire REI experience.

Yet nerve wrecking but at the end of the day they are just regular people BUT yes you will get some angry ones, but just calling to let them know if there is anyway to be of service to them during or after the process and letting them know what you do will give them a more understand.

@Jay HunterI would talk to your agent about your specifics, you want to know the riders you have and ect, who will do your work and rehabs. this may mean you want a workers comp policy, and an inland marine will cover your tools and equipment, you may also want to increase the amount you have on your auto insurance because after all the big investor might get sued by a big shot lawyer, if you get in a wreck, that's another discussion on asset protection, but just my .02 cents worth. 

A lot of these older building do not want to deal with Verizon's installers wrecking their property.  

If you don't make the payments, the lender will foreclose, take the house from you (causing you to lose any money you've invested) and wreck the seller's credit.  

I just wouldn't want the investment to be a total train wreck if the market were to bubble.

Yes, they look sooo sexy on paper...but then after it's been vandalized a few times, the tenant does a midnight move - while leaving the place in a total wreck- two months after moving in - you will realized that massive ROI was just bad hallucination.

You could buy a wreck in Detroit and convince yourself it's a 20 cap.  

When you put yourself between a seller and another end buyer you are trying to sell to, it can be a really tight fit, especially if you can't buy it as required.Go deeper in your learning, what is on the surface as some ploy can be a train wreck in reality.

What if a $5k repair bill comes up, will that wreck you?
