Makes the long hours tolerable and memorable.

If the claim is covered, the insurance company pays for the defense of the claim against you which allows you to sleep at night.Far better for the real estate investor to educate themselves and learn to assess and understand their tolerance for risk and how and what activities create risk for them before embarking on an asset protection plan.

Those that work with you for free will do it a lot less (and you should not demand the same). 3) you can learn so much through a paid program and that can help you accelerate your acceptance and risk tolerance of getting into REI.

It depends on your own risk tolerance and financial situation.

All that to say, you need to figure out what your risk tolerance is and how real estate can fit into that, not vice-versa. 

.), how much capital do you have to invest (barrier to entry in some expensive cities) and what your risk tolerance is.

Will depend on several factors like the type of property, type of tenants, your risk tolerance, other assets you own, your estate planning, laws where the property is located, etc.

Notice that a lot of them were flips, so not really an "investment" and no doubt there is money to be made, if you can tolerate the side effects that come with those deals.For a buy and hold investment, be aware that properties that sell far below intrinsic value are usually fools gold - cashflow looks AMAZING, but capex will exceed cash flow over the years with no other source of income to compensate for it, but you won't realize it until you see it in your bank account 5 years down the road.This is why you never see a seasoned investor buy these deals.My cheapest deal was 62k in, about 25k in rehab, a year in rent and then sold it to the tenant for 110k I think.

Obviously knowing the terms of the loans, your income, risk tolerance, age etc... would help to make educated decision.

You need to look at your risk tolerance and what your numbers would look like if you got stuck with the credit card payments for an extended period of time beyond what you expect.
