:)Just kidding.I have looked, and are currently into it, and we only have 1 property currently which is managed.So no, by no means are you a wussy for wanting to go that route.Especially if it is out of state.Things I am really considering for all of our RE choices right now are as follows:Top of a cycle, anticipated reduction of value to assets for the next 2-4 years, meaning mortgage paydown is more important right now.

I am very excited to get started and am already anticipating my future plans for my next property.  

But, since I didn't do that I will now need to use a 25% down loan for my next property and I am looking for private money much earlier than anticipated!

I look forward to reading any replies with anticipation.

The bank goofed up and I ended up having to come up with more $$$ down than I had anticipated/been quoted.

We anticipate purchasing our first property within the next few weeks, probably in Indianapolis, and are hoping to add a property in the Valparaiso area soon after.We are also looking to grow a solid network of local professionals near us.  

Electric is the anticipated 100+ year old hodge podge and will be a big item to check Friday.
