I'll be starting a blog soon and am thinking of outlining my progress on that. 

@Jonathan Dempsey outlines the only situation in which it's rational.  

After we outline some of the investors goals, we, the agents, begin looking for properties for them.

Going through insurance pretty sure the deductible is going to be much higherThe Agents have nothing to do with this, they did their duties that were outlined by the contract so why are you punishing them?

I thought it was helpful in outlining the math and I have learned a lot of the basics with it.Thanks for the post!

If so, you are limited by your Debt-to-Income ratio outlined in the conventional guidelines which is 43%.

What you've outlined is the exact course of action I am taking.I'm currently working through the pre-licensing course in MA (cost $300) and building a list of brokers/agents in my area who appear to invest themselves.

Your local codes may require specific qualifications or licences for contractors to perform work however it is a joke to accept that a tenant has the right to demand anything of a landlord beyond that outlined in your state landlord tenant regulations.Tell your tenants that when they are paying for the work they can choose their own contractors.

You think that someone who catches this diseases during a peaceful protest, which is specifically outlined in the First Amendment of the Constitution, your belief is that person should "die in the streets, alone?" 

Right now all we can do is outline risks, and plan accordingly for whatever scenario may come.
