It seems increasingly difficult to satisfy an established investors needs when you are just starting out.

Actually I think if you dress well your race may be an advantage because it is more difficult to age someone of your race (as you put it.)  

It's my experience if a tenant howls loud and long enough and they were reasonable good tenants, we would let items go that might be difficult to prove like switch plate, light bulbs, burner pans (surprised they're charging for that as they almost always have burn marks).One thing that stands out is they did not make the proper effort to repair the roof. 

I think quality control in general would be extremely difficult.

Getting financing for less than $50k is difficult.  

I became interested in real estate when I realized how difficult it is to start your own business. 

Contract price is 40k Repair amounts - if owner wanted maybe 500-1000Arv - difficult to compute .

@Chelsey Hamill Thank you for posting this question as a real estate agent in my state sometimes it is difficult to answer questions like this one from my clients who have similar profession as you.

Selling a deal is not difficult if you contract it at a good price.

@James Smith, those areas of Nashua are the worst areas, and therefore the tenant base is more difficult.
