We've been able to successfully build a stable wholesaling business in Chattanooga and N Georgia over the past few years and although we plan to stay in these markets we're itching to get into our next.

I would not 'borrow' at a rate of 35+% to scratch my RE itch.  

Finding and buying at discount is the challenge with current retail market values at their highest ever...I have some experience with rehabbing one of my parents rentals, so I am itching to get out and do one of my own.

Once you have the itch to get involved in real estate investing it's really hard to get rid of it.

I am definitely itching to get started but my inability to go see listings is a huge road block.At the end of the day I don’t know if financial gurus would praise me or throw me under the bus, but at the end of the day I would do it the exact same way again due to personal gains.

Meanwhile, I'm doing whatever I can to learn about the business on what little spare time I have and itching to get started.CW

At this point I am itching to invest in out of state properties, as I live in San Diego, CA and it's extremely hard to start in my city.

I'm really itching to start so I appreciate your objective perspectives.To summarize, it sounds like everyone is saying that my money would be put to better use in a multi family.

I'm responding now to strike a balance between the time it takes for me to digest your multiple dense posts along with their accompanying links and the need for speed mentioned in terms of the property owner itching to sell now.Thank you very much for your reply.

Plus, I know 10 people right now that are itching to tell me where the mula machine streets are in the downtown area with staying tenants.
