Real estate is not for weak stomachs!! 

You have to have the stomach to weather the ups and downs for sure. 

If this is still too much to stomach, then it's time to find a less-risky activity.

Since few lenders have the stomach to do this, it’s also been a great competitive advantage for our business.This horrifies almost every private lender I know.

Just have to stomach the higher rates for 2-3 years, break even (ideally cash-flow a tiny bit), and handle the PM during the roller coaster ride our President is putting everyone on.

I don't have the stomach for 81 pages of landlord/tenant law that favors only the tenant. 

Those are the cost of doing business.I will use my clients property, purchased last year as an example:(57,000+6228-3500)/$190,000=31% IRRMy client lost money throughout the year(repairs, vacancies, etc) and had an 8.1% interest rate.All this to say if you can stomach a few down or flat year, you will make a killing!

Most places in Ohio can be profitable rentals... if you can stomach those property taxes!

I am not quite in that boat of disposable income that I could stomach losing, but I have determined a reasonable strategy of maybe going in 1k at a time on a 3-6 month journey to 10x 5 to 10 transactions.

Would your existing tenants stomach that much of an increase?
