WE did fine since like you I would only buy if there was substantial equity AS U need that when they stop paying then you had 3 to 6 months to get them out and then 10 to 50k to rehab..

I have also purchased using Real Wealth Network, and they do a much better job of vetting the local markets and providers and will stop recommending any providers or vendors if investors are giving poor feedback. 

There's also the fact that you'll stop growing equity there, when you could instead access most of the equity and keep growing wealth through the home.

You can stop reading and start organizing.Buy more properties.

I had a gut feeling something was not right and I feel I have made the right decision to stop, especially as a struggling student.

Get a side gig for extra cash flow, stop all extra spending and live like a monk. 

Cheers to your new venture!

MOST transaction aren’t BELOW market, although I’d venture that 85% of those buyers BELIEVE they’re purchasing real property at a discount.  

Stop getting discouraged and changing markets.

Your biggest problems here are going to be how to properly qualify someone, what to do if someone stops paying, footing the bill if you have a big repair item, finding quality and reasonable vendors/contractors to fix things, and keeping track of payments.If this isn't you, give me some more context of where you're at and I can give some better insights.
