But the time and stress to close a real estate sale could be a lot higher for being an agent.

@Kimberly T. it is not metal, it is wood, one of those that looks like a barn. 

Next, Iphone and contract with AT&T gone.  

Thanks @Richelle T., The Boscobel Group, LTD  and @Randy Landman.  

You need a Realtor to take this stress for you. 

Admittedly, there is the fact that I just didn´t love Venice and wouldn´t buy a VR property anywhere I didn´t love, so perhaps another of a different mind may be more dedicated to finding the property that makes the numbers work. 

What is good about the low money down conventional route is you can lock in a good rate and not have to stress about a refi a few years down the road because the equity will remove the insurance.  

However, if you have zero real estate experience, good luck finding somebody who will give you $.I didn't invest in real estate until I had literally so much money saved up that I had to invest in something, and it still stresses me out thinking about all the "what ifs".

It´s the first time we´ve leased this unit for LTR, though it´s been active in the past as a full-time STR (when it wasn´t our primary).
