I know the bank is potentially losing money on the house if the owner paid too or did too much cash out then failed to pay.  

Sometimes landlords don't raise rents for years on fear of losing good paying tenants.

I would hate to lose everything I have worked so hard over, because I was sued and lost and too cheap to have insurance ;) Just my two cents ;) 

@Mark Laird Before I think you can answer the questions you asked, I think you have to set your sight on what you want to accomplish.

Do I run any risk of losing part or all of my investment?

Thanks, getting my feet wet, just figuring out my way around the BP sight

One of our biggest keys to success is that our tenants have a lot to lose.

In Florida (I'm a Real Estate Attorney here) I see wholesalers costing themselves money because their Contract and assignments aren't done in their favor, or losing deals all together.

Hi all,When I bought my house roughly 2 years ago, the gentleman next door was explaining to me that he was on disability, however, his checks weren't coming in fast enough, and he was going to lose his house. 

Sorry on the delay folks unfortunately you win some and lose some the seller only gave me a week to close on the house and couldn't get everything together in time.
