If turns out to be a rental (which is my expectation) then I will bank the cashflow and work towards the BRRRR strategy to add another property in the near future.What I’ve been doing lately to make dreams realty:-Listened to one or two BP Podcasts a day-Spent tons of spare time on Zillow browsing properties-Identified a single family property that has real potential to be my first deal-Gotten an insurance quote and dug up tax records on the property-Talked to a couple area realtors and chosen one whose background and experience best fits my goals-Toured the property-Crunched tons of numbers based on different scenarios-Arranged a second showing for tomorrow, with a local contractor who will be joining me for the showing to provide a quote on the work that would be needed.I am super excited for tomorrow!

But, I've found there is one caveat to my dreams.

I left it low in there eyes because they were the dream tenant that pays on time and takes great care of my home.

If I can encourage or inspire others who have big dreams then it is my absolute pleasure. 

@Jason White, I can only dream of the scenario where i recoup more money than I had paid for the house in the first place - that would be an easy resolution for me - just get the money; sell to another investor as-is and walk away.

I have a dream of living in HI with the family someday.

This is not a pipe dream. 

You never know what opportunities will turn up.Make the dream your goal and not the ability to do  your dream. 

(I dreamed that one up after dealing with the crazy dude that paid me at the gas station and just never looked back)I wish you happy investing! 

I've seen too many of my fellow service members buy their dream house every 3 years only to go through about 6+ months of headaches every time they move and they usually end up losing money.My $0.02.
