To calm your fears a bit, I'd say you can ask for some additional deposit funds as a condition of renewing their lease if you're concerned that their damages will eventually overrun the security deposit.

Thanks for the advice, you got good points you pointed out my same fears.

The fear doesn’t ever totally subside, but as you learn and grow, you understand how to mitigate the risks more effectively.

On top of investors not looking to realtors for off market deals now (which mine has done several) I’d be scared to even transact with a wholesaler, for fear of repercussions now from NAR if complaints on the transaction if licensed.

Although I have been able to attend these different events I am still fearful of perusing an investment of such a magnitude.

Most people don’t know how to use them or set them up and most people fear what they don’t understand so they just put stuff in their personal name which is the worst way you can take ownership of a property 

Full of fear of what ifs. 

The third reason is unreasoning fear -- people are unreasonably terrified of the potential unreliability of used cars.

We’ve been able to create over 2 million dollars of equity in the past 3 years.I am pretty busy with a therapy practice and buying real estate, however, I choose to coach others in real estate because I know how hard it is for people to get over that fear and take that first big step in getting their first investment property.

However, if I let go of my fear, realistically in the foreseeable future the risk of losing them is pretty small.
