Cry havoc, and loose the dogs of war. 

I understand that I'm my own restriction, but I carry a lot of responsibility.I realize that it requires work, but can I afford to loose, NO.So as I step out in faith with the small amount of courage that possess, I trust that someone here will open a hand and grasp me if I fall to far.Thanks Duane

Daily we have news of how bad the state budget problems are and I am leery of buying in a state that is losing jobs, loosing population and who’s future is not bright.

Terry, your capacity for Jolification knows no bounds.......

You are most likely going to loose some tenants when you raise rents, try raising them slowly like yr. 1 3%, Yr. 2 5%, and so on.

Lying under a sink wrestling with getting ancient faucets loose is really getting old. 

Some HOA's really are dysfunctional and as an investor you are problem solver (fixing the running toilet, the loose doorknob, and solving the late rent issue) but these human relations problems on boards can be another matter altogether. 

Why do some investors loose money?

This is a loosing battle.

(Loosely quoted)We'll see how this goes!
