., itchy trigger finger syndrome, eh? 

The good old RDPD gullibility syndrome. 

Shiny object syndrome emerging...

I was just commenting that many folks are new to investing and look at the 2010 metrics as what is normal or a good deal.. we are in a new normal stage of the market.. will it crash again who knows.. but this is the marketAS the poster above mentioned you will always have the US  owner with their financial issues and hoarder houses and burnt out landlord syndrome.. so I guess like you have done it becomes Gorrilla marketing to find these deals.. so that means spending some sort of money on marketing for them.. or wholesalers or what have U..   

I have heard this called the shiny object syndrome and occasionally suffer from it myself.

People fall victim (including myself) to the shiny penny syndrome and are always changing the next best thing.

For instance,  Possibly the tenant has some type of disability (down syndrome) where they are highly functional but wouldn't necesarily meet the criteria or possibly they would and the parents just want to help them live a little better.Not sure obviously about this particular tenant however, if the mother is willing to go on the lease and she meets the criteria then I would not necessarily turn them down for just having her pay the rent.

I am just getting started out so I don't want to get "shiny object syndrome" and jump to something new when I haven't quite mastered SFRs in my market yet.

your just suffering from burnt out landlord syndrome. it happens.. happened to me.. 

Sample all that BP has to offer but beware the shiny object syndrome.
