Im not a new investor but what I have seen :)

• analysts paralyst
• spousal support
• down payment issues
• unreasonable expectations - wanting to spend 100k when property is 200k

My biggest hurdle is finding where to start without putting the well being of my family in jeopardy.  I am truly interested in the under $50k turnkey options in Ohio as we have plenty enough for a down payment there but my wife has many fears that go along with not knowing the areas.  As much as I would love to trust everyone in these forums we would want to verify their reputations with other professionals in their respective areas but don't know how to go about doing that.  The biggest fear is sinking $10-15k into one of these as a down payment trusting the seller just to have a house that falls apart next year, tenants that stop paying, or the in place PM walk away and leave us high and dry.
