Need a little motivation

Hello BP!!!

I haven't posted here for a few years, and I was unable to locate my old login info, so I started a new profile. When I was actively on here I did not post much, but spent hours, days, weeks absorbing this treasure trove of information.

I started buying and holding Single Family Homes as rentals back in 2008 and I invested heavily up until around 2011 . Then my real estate goals shifted and I kind of lost track of this site for awhile. I have been lurking here lately as my attention shifts back to buying more rental properties.

I find myself reluctant to pull the trigger on a deal I have found. Its a foreclosure that was stripped of all copper wire and pipe in the basement and sat vacant for over a year. The living area seems mostly undamaged. The price is nice and I see the opportunity but for some reason I am hesitating "getting back on the bike" Just seeking some positive reinforcement and felt what better place than this!!!
