But I’m not sure I share your unbridled enthusiasm.

One is a probate sale so does that explain their lack of enthusiasm?

:)So listen to yourself, put that enthusiasm to work and go meet your target neighborhood.  

Welcome to BP @Johnathan Mark, Bp is a great family and this is a long learning, enjoy it a lot and maintain your level of enthusiasm.

Please and knowledge and wisdom would be much appreciation and much enthusiasm.

Recently leaving a corporate career, I'm looking forward to investing my time, energy and enthusiasm into REI.  

I'm sure that your enthusiasm will continue to produce even more action and I look forward to seeing you crush milestones over the next year! 

Getting really pumped up about real estate in 1985, using that enthusiasm to do a lot of reading, going out and purchasing first property, learning from that experience, appreciation due to holding many years, hard work and being motivated by being to help others.

However, It has been very hard for me to find anyone that I believe would put in the effort and enthusiasm that I do. 

Even if the property redeems, though the returns in terms of real dollars will be low, the experience you gain will help inform your planning for next steps and will either reinforce your enthusiasm to continue, or will help you determine what other direction to try.
