Right now my biggest fear is how much to leverage as all CORF seem to require personal guarantors. 

@Jeff Faulkner yes and no. of course it’s ideal to pull all of your invested money back out. of course that’s the ideal scenario but i don’t think it defines the strategy. to be honest i’ve done 2 brrrr’s this year and have done very well on them but i did not pull all my money back out. if you really get down to it, there was money that i spent above and beyond what the hard money lender reimbursed and also, i didn’t get back all of the interest at 9.99% that i was paying to the HML.i got a check for 19k at closing. i expected it to be more but am still happy. don’t forget to account for closing costs out of what you get back as that was a 10k hit for me both times. biggest issue for me with brrrr that is actually somewhat out of your control is the dang appraisals. all this talk about rehabbing a property and having the appraisal come in crazy high, yea i haven’t seen that happen.

I've talked to many investors whose biggest frustration was purchasing what appeared to be a great deal but having limited professionals to manage and maintenance the property.

As far as it being the biggest I'm not so sure.

The biggest educational part of this deal is that I'm learning how to budget, schedule, and work with other contractors as if im the GC, goes hand and hand with flipping homes(which I aspire to do).I would love for more feedback any questions. 

The biggest problem is coming up with the cash to buy one.4.

Get to know what locations and types of real estate interest you and build from there.I also highly recommend networking and going to group meetings.There are many Real Estate investment groups in Edmonton, the biggest is Edmonton Real Estate Investors Association Monthly Meetup, which is the second Wednesday of the month.  

I personally fell down the self-management rabbit hole back in 1999, and it's the biggest regret of my entire investment career.

I see that the biggest problem is finding a plaze thAt allows this kind of thing.

As a cash buyer I am thinking that I should be the one taking the biggest profit since I have most skin on the game and I am taking most risk.
