I've seen a lot of people mentioning reading books and soaking up knowledge to start.

Even so, most people choose to buy coverage for things even if there's a 99% chance they won't need it.  

One thing to note when getting conventional mortgages and spouses.There is a 10 limit per person for conventional financing.You can either do 10 conventional in each person's name which would be 20 mortgages for 2 people or if you do the mortgages jointly, will only allow 10 in total.My thoughts are not to own joint assets until you are both married. 

Great insurance agent, great realtor, great lender, great attorney, great title people great trades and others.A great realtor can save you time, money, frustrations, headaches, and keep you out of a lot of trouble. 

Working with me can very much turn into a long term engagement for the right people.

I know people who do this and I do not believe there are issues with it, but speak to an attorney and they should probably notify the company if they are an employee of that company that they are doing this.

They probably actually have less debt than most other people, so it is easier for them to make rent payments.The vast majority of bankruptcies are medically related.They have been "through the system" and they don't want to go through that again.

One thing to remember when you are getting into RE investing is to have your team of people or as Brandon Turner from the Bigger Pockets Podcast calls it your CORE 41.

It is important to note, people would rather rent a cleaner, and newer home, than a "larger."

I think the risk is similar and probably even less likely with midterms, particularly since you should always have a lease agreement for your midterm rentals whereas people rarely do this for short terms.
