As expected, the payment was bounced back due to insufficent fund.

To bounce off what @Aaron Yatessaid, the suburbs do not have the same vibe that the actual city does.

I am ready to bounce back, a little discouraging though.

Just wanted to bounce this off of a sounding board, to see what the competition....i mean peers...think :)Deal Analysis

I am really excited that I have found a group of people to bounce ideas off of and to hear of your successes and advice.

@Stacey Williams ,Welcome to BiggerPockets,If you want a mentor or at least someone to bounce ideas off of come to the BWI Meetup meetings that occur monthly.

Layoffs have already started in the oil industry but I've heard that the oil companies are expecting prices to bounce later this year so layoffs may not be as heavy as they could be if prices continue to stay low for a while.

This area didn't crash hard and has pretty much bounced back to or above previous highs so it isn't the worst bet in the world.Also if you are in it for the long haul in 20 years you can be making crazy amounts of money as rents go up and your payments are fixed, or get paid off.

@Bobby Beard I attempted to have this done but the health dept. and township keep bouncing it back and forth because then they are responsible for the man.

Currently I've been listening to podcast from BP, reading books, set a budget to save money for our first project for the coming year and just found a nearby REIA which my first meeting will be beginning in January.I look forward to getting involved in several discussions and to bounce ideas off you all.
