There is always the possibility of the pirates braking into the property and vandalizing or stealing the appliances.I would suggest that the first real offer is the best offer.  

The economy and RE could brake either way.  

The single-family market feels like it’s hit the brakes—demand has dropped, homes are staying on the market longer, and sellers are starting to adjust expectations.

“Reserves” in a TIC are more than a rainy-day jar—they’re the brake and the seatbelt that keep co-owners from white-knuckle cash calls or hard choices at the worst possible time.In practice I size reserves off three inputs: the operating profile, building and systems, and the lease/tenant risk.

Be proud of what you have set in place but pump the brakes, get a job and reassess when your finances are more stable.

I'm aware of the risks and that's a big part of me pumping the brakes on buying anything.

We went as far as to get set up with Truvi, signed their agreement, and opened an account in their portal, but I pumped the brakes because of the guest journey. 

I’m kind of bummed out when one of Detroit’s  main cheerleaders on Bigger Pockets is pumping the brakes. 

So I put the brakes on my REI activity.

On one hand, the rapid expansion of STR supply is hitting the brakes.
