But I did stress multiple safety nets in my acquisition plan.

If you are marketing your deals publicly and many agents and brokers see what you're doing and you harm then in any way, you can expect a complaint to be filed and attention brought to you situation.Get a license, it's annoying but 3 weeks of time and a couple grand will save you tons of headaches and unnecessary stress.  

The other tab in that block is “relationship,” and it is the active one by default.)I must stress that farming email addresses from your LinkedIn network is against the rules, so don’t do it!

@James Wise is right, the idea of a living wage runs counter to a society where the mantra is more for less.In theory, a higher minimum wage leads to more money in circulation, but reality, in the context of North American society, would more likely be displacement of more jobs offshore.

Don't get stressed out.  

Distressed can take on a lot of forms (stressed out owners, unwanted inheritance, damage, mismanagement, rents under market values, etc) but it's a word we use to describe access to properties for less than fair market value. 

They've offered to help me with the logistics of me putting a home under contract and dealing with taking photos, assessing repairs, running comps, etc.I'm taking a risk that they'll actually come through as I've never worked with them, but I'm trying not to focus too much stress and energy on that right now.If I end up in a situation where I have a motivated seller and the deal looks good at a high-level and these contacts don't come through, I'll have to get real creative (hit the phones, BP, etc).

I was watching a BP blog the other day about your first investment property and they stressed how important it is to be prepared.

I would suggest you figure out what your comfort level of stress is and figure out what how much debt you want to be holding versus your savings.
