I would really be curious of the failure rate of investing out of state or out of area especially fully leveraged.Also if you are in a good location leasing will be very easy giving you a better durability of income than a low income rental.Any NYC investors want to chime in?

The demise of Lehman brothers, the bailout of AIG, as well as other lending institutions failures can all have been averted if they had exercised one premise above all, safety before profits.

You can also be a failure with or without college.

I've learned from these mistakes and don't see them as failures but signs that those methods just weren't for me.

Dental practices have some of the absolute lowest failure rates of any startup and dentists are necessarily educated and intelligent.

Oh man, you are destined for failure.

However, I don't want to overestimate and set myself up for failure.

The original bid came from the seller and was off by half.... we have struggled with contractor issues and inspection failures and it has been the biggest learning experience ever!

Now, I am fully aware of the failure rate of the people in the market, I believe it's 87%.

And thanks for sharing your failures with us.
