We have experienced great success with the product, but generating solid leads has been our biggest stumbling block.Ali

We are in the middle of one of the biggest US military build ups in decades.

I used to operate a REIA here in SoCal and one of our biggest attended meetings was when we had the appraiser for the local hard money lender.

My biggest day yet is when 14 homeowners said YES they will sell me their house all in one day in a 3 hour period.

(Which is the biggest barrier to entry)Setting an agreement ( x properties per month for y months at z price) land contract with financing might be the best option.

If you still can't live off of your remaining income, then accept that your primary residence is your biggest liability and sell that too.

I have checked with insurance before taking out a policy on both units (separate lots) and they had no exclusions for it, so I am good there.I guess my biggest dilemma right now is price point and what embellishments to make for what the return might be.We have in the are luxury condos, lakeside private acreages, lodge retreats, cabins, tiny houses (2 story trailers- if you will) ,residential like mine and campsites/tents plus the RV parks.It seems most places offer lakeview or lakeside as the drawing angle.

The biggest key will be a quality property manager, so vet them very thoroughly. 

I believe this to be my biggest advantage because I can learn great amounts about house repairs and remodel, as well as use the business in my own projects at a discount in the future.

I keep hearing on the BP podcasts (which I love, Brandon and Josh are like the closest thing I have to like-minded friends) that the biggest obstacle to get going in RE is fear.
