Average realtors may bring you a few over priced deals, but find a good realtor who is also in the rental business and you'll occasionally find some good deals from them.

Tell them you will want to do simultaneous closings and occasional assignment of contract.

A few years ago I talked with someone who owned more than 50 rental properties and occasionally flipped property and I've been thinking doing RE investing ever since.

But I go to Atlanta REIA some monthly meetings for the occasional speakers or subject that night.

I have no problem waiting two weeks occasionally to bid on a home if it's at market value.

So, even though I have no plans of replacing these things until they are needed, have some cash reserves, fully expected these items to need attention in the somewhat near future, I just laid there and wasted a few moments of my life (and sleep) worrying a little bit.So, I was just curious, how many of you worry or feel scared occasionally (even if it is not logical) - and about what?

While the account will float up and down, this figure seems to work out pretty well to absorb both the minor repairs, and the occasional bigger one.

You draw and draft and sweat and cry and bleed and, if you're lucky, occasionally sleep. 

They collect a % from gross rent every month to handle those occasional calls.

There may be some deals to be had occasionally, I just haven't personally seen any.
