The problem is the markets are saturated with newbie investors and they end up buying a lot of these bad deals resulting in the "Circle of Flaw" which is repeated over and over again.Most wholesalers (not all) usually don't know what they're doing and continue to sell or try to sell mostly bad deals to inexperienced real estate investors who are itching to close a deal.Their greed for that big payday many times is actually more than the other parties involved are making in the deal.You can always tell what kind of deal it is when it is discounted by the thousands upon thousands when the "so-called deal" has not sold or when they are running out of time.Let me place it in another light.

The important thing is to close the other lines if you are leaving debt behind forever (not everyone agrees with that - but I respect that position a lot).If you really need to scratch that note itch, possibly drop a few thousand on a non-performing second and try to work it back to performing (many resources here-just follow the laws, onboard with a server even if you are going to the grunt work!).

I'm itching to take the first step in Real Estate Investing.

I caught the itch for real estate a year ago and have been reading a lot of books to learn as much as possible while I save.

It's been a few months now that I've had the itch to actually control and steer my life towards a career I can actually be proud of 50 years down the road and be glad I started when I did.

I have had the itch to get a new car for a while, like 3 years.  

3 condo in the city of San Francisco, all 2/1.... 1 SFH right outside the city on the Pennysula...Itching badly to get more, but telling myself to wait for the next recession...

I have an entrepreneurial itch that it seems only real estate can scratch.I appreciate any feedback!

and right about now I usually itch for a new car.. but even replacing the one I drive the S with a new one..

(still runs great)I am now in my 40's and for some reason getting an itch to buy a nice car that I totally do NOT need.
