@Leo Goykhman The worst thing they can do is hang up on you.

Driving around in my neighborhood, I came across the Worst house in the neighborhood.

If the worst happened and you had two vacant properties, it might be difficult to pay the debt incurred from buying the second property and the debt from rehabbing it. 

In many areas, 2% can only really be found in the worst parts of town.

It's really low risk if you buy smart and know you can cover your mortgage during the absolute worst case scenario.

All the other questions worst case were a 50/50, easy to eliminate 2 of the 4 answers and of the two remaining I was always leaning toward one strongly (75%).Take the test like this and you will pass IMO.  

Poor planning can put one in a bind quickly...so hope for the best, plan for the worst, and save save save.

Say worst case scenario in $600K less rehab of $150K, get private lender money for $150K.4.

Yesterday my girlfriend and I even dared to bike across the entire length of the hill district (black shaded, outlined in red = Worst of the worst according to the City data folks) on our way to Oakland from Downtown, even stopped to quench our thirst at Grandma B's haha.

Incidentally, up/down duplexes are the worst investment property to manage.
