Currently the property does not have any pool safety fence.

Question 2: While tenant safety absolutely comes first, does this arsenic problem necessarily need to be addressed with a treatment system?

However, my largest concern is my lack of personal funds (less than 3k in savings) as a safety net for a necessary expense early on (a broken boiler, leaky washing machine, etc.).

But be patient

Not sure how this will play out, but unless I get a smokin deal I am going to be patient for a few months.   

In my case, my absolute rock bottom safety net is my military W-2, and in 12 years my retirement check for the rest of my life so my situation is a bit different and a little bit more stable.

We expected that it was going to be at least a little noisy with them being a family with pets and 2 kids, and we knew our basement ceiling was old and not insulated so we tried to be patient with it.

We have another investment property that we had as our primary home for years, fixed up and did lots nice projects that we knew improved the home but we also enjoyed ourselves.Fast forward to now we are looking at this investment property that has 1 big safety fix and is in good shape other than that.

Otherwise, people with anxiety often lose out on a lot of money, or lose all their money.I will do my research from about 8 pm until 1 in the morning for several months and look at a thousand properties because in the evenings is the only time I get to focus without being interrupted.Be patient and wait like analligator.

Continue to educate yourself, be patient and surround yourself with trustworthy professionals.
