Avoid consumer debt and make sure my credit score stayed high.

Fewer properties = fewer tenants = fewer headaches.

If you are planning on using the Renovation loan be aware that fewer lenders do it, while most will be able to do the HomePath Mortgage.

When consumers can have almost anything custom made for them on the spot, what kind of space will the tenants require, what will it look like and will current zoning allow those activities to take place in current retail locations are some of the issues that play into those big questions.I'm an apartment guy by nature but so much of what we're doing these days is urban mixed use that I'm having to deal with the retail side and it's much more complicated.

Doing the acquisition, renovation and management is very time consuming so they don't have a lot of bandwidth to do the marketing also.

Rejections should be in writing too.Short Sales are very time consuming and often emotional for the Seller.

For condos HOA fees tend to be VERY stiff (yes, much fewer repairs, but still...).

I plan to start with my landlording responsibilities, because I found that they can be most time-consuming, and is something I want to limit in time and delegate as I grow.

This can be very time consuming and costly, probably the reason why the lender wants to sell.

I don't have any magic number I buy with cash and have 10/25% of purchase price on hand for what ever comes upI try to have smaller SFRs with fewer tenants less problems.
