What put you over the edge?- gave you the final push

[Rich S.]

I've read oodles and oodles of real estate stuff, watched plenty of shows, realistic or not.... done a bunch of looking at potential flip projects, etc... researched and had conversations with various partners.... At this point... I only have one burning question... What will put me over the edge?  For you was it the right deal fell into your lap?  You just got fed up with waiting?  Had a bad day at the 9-5 and took the plunge? I'm just curious what put you guys/gals over the edge?

*If it matters... my short term goal is a few flips each year while still working my 9-5, with a long term goal of a enough door rentals and flips to support myself and my family without the 9-5 job.
