I had a private money investor that was ready to go in 50/50 but unfortunately he had some health issues to take care of.  

Googling an owner of property trying to find out what his/her problem/pain point is in order to garner the best deal.

I have spent far too much time, energy and my health inside the corporate world doing for others rather than doing things that bring me joy with my family.Well, that's me in a nutshell...  

I am not necessarily expecting to get a free pass, but, if there is a way to make the journey less painful, I am open to ideas.

She said that broken garage doors, etc are a pain to maintain and tenants don't care enough to bother with the expense.

I'm looking to be able to quit my full time job and have real estate supplement my income, but I'm scared to go all in, especially with a young family and things like health insurance.I'm looking forward to expanding my knowledge and interacting with people here who've been successful in achieving financial independence through real estate!

Although it might be painful up front, we welcome some of the tenants departing to make way for fresh faces and higher standards of management.Again, appreciate the feedback and we'll see how it plays out!

@Gilbert Ross JrWhile your financial health matters to some degree, most hard money/private money loans are purely secured by the property.The strength of the deal and of your business plan for a property are what will bring money to your door.Oh, and network, network, network.  

We always recommend if the claim is $2500 or under you should take it out of your pocket, not turn it into a claim,  if the claim is $2800 you will pay that amount back plus a few hundred more over a five year period.Not sure what kind of pain the tenant would experience with a small piece of drywall falling on his or her head, Personally I would question it, understand we have the right to refuse to pay a claim, sure the attorney could file lawsuit against State Farm, where would it go, not far, would never go to court because it would be turned over to the fraud department inside State Farm, this would be held against you, not the tenant since you are the policy holder.The tenant is trying to gain some quick cash.You stated you are planning on making the tenant pay for damages, the tenant does NOT have to pay any invoice you send him unless you had it in writing in your lease, which I'm it's in there.

I am young but health insurance is another factor in my decision.
