Be mentally, financially and team-wise prepared so you can stay in the game.Lessons learned in this case study:Building up reserves are what prevent nervous breakdowns and heart attacks ;-) I'm sure @Omar Khan can write up a blog or two on this topic ;-)Our chosen and vetted team on the ground is to thank for our being able to sleep at night.It seems to ring true to many when @Jason Powell points out the "rule of waves" or "when it rains it pours."

@Corby Goade Love the mentality!  

Without this kind of mentality, cleverness and insightfulness, you are simply not going to make it.Yes focus on making a deal ASAP.... but not for those reasons.

The mentalities of real estate investors like us and the decision makers for REOs can be vastly different.

My rentals are in Kauai and when I have cancelations 2-4 weeks prior it’s rare they rebook since it’s a destination vacation and requires plane rides and planning.

If you build the wealth when you can it will give you a lot more flexibility and options later in life as it’s a marathon not a sprint  Totally in fact it is better to eradicate this passive investing mentally into  active investment wealth building slowly ….

Ana way to attack the  market, love the mentality! 

So I would recommend you quit wasting time with posts here and instead seek out mental health therapy and a decent lawyer.

Some tenants become unable to take care of their home, due to mental ill health, substance misuse, learning disability and so on.
