I didn't cause their issues and I have no moral or other obligation to accept responsibility for that which is their problem, not mine unless I'm willing to bet that  I know how to solve it profitably and with enthusiasm. 

I don't have much to offer (except enthusiasm and a good calculator), but if I can help in any way, please reach out.Aim high in 2015!

I don't know very much, but hopefully my energy and enthusiasm and willingness to do anything to succeed will offer some value.

If you like the idea of being super hands on, make sure that flies with the wife and kids ;) But in all seriousness, one of the major roadblocks new investors hit is that their enthusiasm takes them out of their reality and they end up getting stuck in investments that either don't return the way they want because they didn't do enough due diligence or they are too much of a headache and negatively impact the work/life balance.Once you have a handle on what options are available to you and you and the wife have decided what will work for you right now, the amount of information you need to absorb will be greatly diminished, as will your chances of being paralyzed by info overload ;) And remember, there's no reason you can't begin your investing journey with one strategy and then change tacks later once you have the financial flexibility to stretch your wings a bit.

I like your enthusiasm.

@Nathan Worden love your enthusiasm!

Thanks for bringing enthusiasm with you to Bigger Pockets.

Love your energy and enthusiasm.  

I love your enthusiasm!

I applaud your enthusiasm and sticking to nicer neighborhoods, but I think you should be able to do better in the Midwest.
