I’m terrified in taking the first step, the risk makes me so nervous.

Weigh in all the pros and cons for your personal case5) Educate yourself on the niche you select. 6) Only after you complete step #5 above and fully understand what you're investing in, take action.Remember, if you're good in making decent money in your food business, then consider sticking to it!

I'm good with people, I'm good with strategy and analysis, I'm true to my word, I'm organized and meticulous, and I'm genuinely interested in taking a "mutually beneficial" approach. 

Some wanted me to cash out refi as it would have appraised for significantly more than I bought it for - however, I wasn't interested in taking out an unnecessarily large loan (and likely over leveraging the deal) for this particular project.

I get the appeal of BRRRR for those who lack cash or want to scale faster, but to me it seems like I am introducing unnecessary variable/interest expense in taking out some kind of high interest LOC (sofi offered unsecured $100k at 9% or my bank will do secured $50k at 7%).Interested in any perspective, thank you. 

It's a simple question but it has been hard to get a straight answer.My parents live off of the cash flow from this property so they are not interested in taking on a standard 30 yr mortgage, as that would effect the cash flow, and thus their livelihood.

The husband is not interested in taking over the mortgage at all.

Some people are slow in taking action or has no intention on actually acting upon REI.

@Kolby Wright I agree with points that both @Martin Tyler and @Brandon Sturgill made...if he's relocating for work, maybe he'd be interested in taking some cash to help with the move but then receive monthly payments.

There was no loss of exposure in taking a contract from me if I did not preform on either property.No one selling a house with a new listing wants to risk taking a house off market on a sale that likely will not go through.
