I’d think it would be very difficult to make the numbers work on a remote arbitrage deal.

However, I’ve always heard having too high of a DTI ratio makes it difficult to get approved for a loan.

We have been looking for a contractor, but it has been very difficult to get a bid from any one.

"A person's success is partly derived by how many difficult conversations they are willing to have."

If so, are these difficult to apply/get approved for?

What parts of the project do they foresee being the most difficult?

We quickly learned that this was more of a difficult task than we were ready for at the time, and that it would hold us back from scaling.

Originally posted by @Ron Brady:In our lives outside of real estate, we've had the benefit of being exposed to quite a bit of research that comes to the same conclusion you appear to--that there are outcomes in real estate that are difficult to explain if bias is not the source of the individual behaviors.  

As a new investor without a property that you own, it will be very difficult for you to get anyone to come out and spend their valuable time talking with you about a possible project.

It may be difficult with all three under lease.
