I think a few others above have said this before, but If you are concerned enough about having a questionable/sketchy tenant you should look elsewhere and find someone more qualified and you're more comfortable with.

Not being educated about a market and rehab enough to be comfortable taking the deal.

She recommends to just get enough insurance that makes you comfortable.

I'm deciding whether to take down the (non-bearing) wall between the kitchen and dining room, or at least box off an opening between the two rooms.  

Just an example, I offered 45k on a property last month (and I was stretching my comfort zone on it).

Happy news for us here.Even with the legal changes, I still am not comfortable accepting Pit Bulls or Pit mixes and state in the lease that this type of dog is not allowed.

You need to talk him through it and make him feel comfortable, especially since there are so many scams out there.  

I think it silly.What I do believe is that you should begin to learn what a good deal is in your market based on your comfort level and what you find acceptable for a return.Typically, I look at a good investment as one that I can be all in (my purchase price plus my rehab costs) at 70% LTV or better.So if that house is going to appraise out at 150k when i'm done rehabbing it, I want to pay no more than 105k for the purchase and the rehab of the property.
