How to overcome the biggest fear of becoming a property investor

There are a number of reasons why a person may want to invest in property, but they never actually get around to it. They have all the best intentions and they really, truly want to take action. They do the research. They listen to podcasts, attend the webinars and buy the courses. They get educated, they learn what’s possible, they discover the strategies that could make them wealthy and generate an income that matches (or outweighs) their current income in retirement. And then… they don’t do anything further.
It could be a lack of a deposit, a fear of making the wrong decision and ending up with a dud property, or even a partner who isn’t on the same page and discourages you from investing that stops you from becoming an investment property owner. These are all common reasons why people don’t invest in real estate, even though we’re experiencing a property boom at present. However, I’ve found that there is one primary reason why people don’t take the plunge… It’s everyone’s “biggest fear” about becoming a landlord. The biggest fear for many property investors is threefold, and it all relates to tenants:

1,Finding a good one in the first place;
2,Avoiding vacancies between tenancies, and
3,Receiving ongoing cash flow from tenants who actually pay the rent.
