Some of them are comfortable with discussing their number of properties publicly, some not.

if you're trying to get a bunch of properties under your belt to create some cash flow, and you feel comfortable with the area it is in, fix it yourself and rent it out.if you need the cash for something else, or want to save up for a more expensive place for a rental, flip it.

Some day my little kids will end up at home by themselves for a few minutes, I'd just feel more comfortable.

At some point a lender may not be comfortable with your management experience or ability to run an operation so, in that Pre stage, ask where the lender will be comfortable with you abilities.

On my ad, I say I would rent to the first person that I'm comfortable with.

Ultimately my desire is to replace my current income, finance child's higher education and build wealth so that I may retire comfortably.

Prepaid programming and other media has made it known what RE investors do so most when dealing with an investor understand it is just that...investing, I spell out in contracts that I have the right to assign, market, sell, etc. and if Seller has an issue with any of it, I will generally compromise to a point of there comfort and it all works out.

As I mentioned, I've seen it in various magazines, on Houzz, etc. but the time from it being shown in Homeshows, magazines, online, etc. to the time buyers are comfortable with it takes a little time.

Agreed, definitely get comfortable locally before moving out of the area.
