I feel more comfortable with starting out with rehabbing.

Everyone has their own comfort level.You can invest in one state or multiple states.

They all seem to have this air about them like they are better than you and almost shun you as funny as that may sound. fortunately I'm comfortable in any situation and i just see it as a speed bump and not a game killer.

I have also owned rentals in Orange County, LA County and Riverside County during my investment career.When I say write down what you want, I am talking about potential income, potential appreciation, types of properties you feel comfortable owning, areas you would want to own in, and on and on. 

I think this might go a long way towards making people more comfortable about sending their money out into the ether without any form of safeguards...

But alas, so much can go wrong during the process.The funny thing is I’ve invested sums bigger than this in the stock market, but what made me comfortable in doing so was being able to exit the investment in a literal nanosecond.

You can buy coverage on your own if your not comfortable with the coverages provided by the Keller Williams policy but the odds are that it will be significantly higher.

There are a lot of opportunities out there, you just need to be comfortable with the people your going to have to work with or through.

That would really depend on your comfort level and strategy for buy and hold.

Would you feel comfortable investing in this area?
