I've been out of the military two years now and I'm getting the itch to begin investing.My wife and i currently both work full-time jobs and we're carefully considering our options to transition to full-time real estate investment.During my daily 2-hour commute to and from work (one of my many motivators to transition), I began listening to as many real-estate podcasts as I could find.

I'm a newbie with REI but itching to get better.  

You need to make sure it is a good investment, though, and not just because you're itching to do something. or because you think that the market will magically always go higher.I've had negative cash flowing properties because I was aggressively paying down short term debt on them, or because I was renovating vacant units. 

I'm itching for my next deal.

So I've been out of the action and now itching to get back in -- , so -- I feel pretty new, a lot changes in a few years.

You can either start driving, or you can buy a list of absentee owners in your zip code area and just market with letters directly to those owners and let them know what you're trying to do and see if any of them have been itching to unload their multi.Duplexes running in high 100's to low 200s... hmmm.

Regarding real estate property, I am itching to buy more, but will wait a little bit more as I think prices will continue to get softer in the next 12 months in my opinion. 

She also happens to be the one with an itch to move every year or 2 years. 

I've been itching to get into real estate investing for months now, listening to podcasts and watching the bp webinars as much as possible to amass all the info I can fit in my brain.

Not to complain too much, but handling insecticides, fleas in my truck, in my bath tub (next day), feeling like I'm always itching, and nightmares is just not worth the extra dollars...
