I have found that these agencies are thrilled when an investor wants to improve the neighborhood.

I'm very excited to have happened upon this site, because I have such a passion for real estate and I'm thrilled to find other people who are into it, too.

I love a heart pounding, thrill seeking, pee in your pants ride as much as the next person, but really, the older I get the more I think do I really want to have my life in the hands of a 16 year old ?

It was about one year ago that I was entering the Indianapolis market and was not thrilled about the prospect of investing from out of area (about 3 hour drive away).

Hey everyone,I'm a business student at the University of Illinois and am thrilled to find a place where first hand real estate knowledge is so abundant!

There are several other good state banks in the area that would probably be thrilled to do this deal for you.

(looks like that has been pretty standard for nearly 100 years)I'm THRILLED he didn't use a bible.

*I am thrilled to be working with these people again.

ya i understood what you said...maybe i wasn't clear...what i was saying is that i alraedy shut my agent ouf of the sell commission by using the flat fee...i'd hate for him to lose out on the buy commission as well...i've used this tactic before going direclty to the listing agent and he didn't seem thrilled...probably bc i drive him crazy looking at houses and sending me comps!!

I have lived debt free for the last six years and going into debt does not thrill me but I am kind between a rock and a hard place if I want to get involved in REI.I couple of the posts here made me have a bit more pause but I don't know how to go about REI without taking some risk on.I will be getting more involved with an investment as time allows and hopefully i will learn more.Any other thought are welcomed.Thanks again...Chris
