I didn’t read where the two of you have ever had a run in or even a conversation with each other.Ultimately though, it sounds like the biggest thing working against you in this scenario is that you are on a month-to-month agreement, which means you could have moved out at any time with proper notice if you felt so unsafe.

For me the biggest one, and the one that kept my wife and I from selling my business for years to go full-time into real estate, was making sure we didn't chase deals with more risk than we normally would have. 

Closing costs are your biggest expenses.

@Thomas Larsen if you have internet in your travel trailer, I host a weekly virtual meetup. 

Biggest opportunity for mistakes is future capex; make sure you understand what will be necessary in the next 5/10/15 years...! 

The analysis all happens up front, and what I found is that my biggest bottleneck was getting out to show properties.

The biggest risk in this process, and the one I think many underestimate, is the rehab piece. 

Check the company's feedback on the internet; key in something like 'xyz insurance sucks' etc.

The biggest drawback is paying for closing again, like $8k (it's a VA streamline so there is an additional $1k on top of the other fees) but that will more than pay for itself in interest saved.

Hi James, whilst I'm the biggest fan of real estate agents & I totally believe in your value you bring to the process, I'm actually looking for perspectives from the purchasers.
