At the end of the day, I can be afraid of the cycle - or I can get started and see how things pan out.

The previous owners literally just walked away...dishes in the cabinets...pans...rolling pins they collected...kids pictures...all left ...and a sweet little scared cat...she just sat there day after day waiting for her humans to come back...who does that

Not every deal pans out, but keep at it.

I am familiar with the traditional route (i.e. banks) but if this doesn't pan out what are some alternatives? 

Interesting to see how this pans out.

my wife makes cookies & puts 'em in a tin tray. it's got the personal touch.do the little things to make them feel special, & they may renew. this is a people business.you know what?

I have thought about a part-time job, even searched for a few, but nothing ever panned out.

There is no magic number.It is a fact, if there is not enough return, you do not have enough cushion in case the investment does not pan out the way you visioned.

During the identification window I did find a few potential properties, but none of them panned out.

Out of state investors are vulnerable to the promises of high returns on these cheap properties but they don't pan out.
