I agree that the "bold" and uneducated investors could potentially set themselves up for failure by rushing in to gobble up discounted properties during the recession fire sale.

First, congratulations on taking such a bold first step: Door-knocking pre-foreclosures takes guts and persistence!

I am in no rush to make any bold moves or eager to get into something i can’t get out of.

I don't know if you remember me, but we were in the same Bold class last Spring!

Each suburb, Tempe, Mesa, Scottsdale, Glendale, Goodyear, Peoria, etc. has it's own flavor and your preferences will change after you've been there a while.The Phoenix market is mature and deals are few and far between. 

This is a long game and it takes a lot of time to either build the team and structures to have a deal land at your doorstep, or search through a lot of avenues yourself.Remember that there are 100 flavors of "turnkey" companies and more are not truly ones where you can turn the key, than are.

I bolded a few questions that I think are most important; it really makes you think about what steps to help you succeed.

There should be very little excitement in it, very little that's particularly inspiring and boldly decisive.

My realtor was like, (Paraphrased) “Dang, that’s a bold move for your first property, but I like it.”This morning at 7:00am he called me and stated offer was accepted, amongst many offers he had!

That advice needs to be in bright red bold print somewhere.
