I have finally decided to take the plunge and start.

Ok. Have run the numbers six ways from Sunday, driven the neighborhood, talked to local investors, asked a few questions here, read a ton of forums and here we go. We have the opportunity to buy a group of duplexes/...

I'm ready to take the plunge into real estate investment now but will be starting from scratch.I'm originally from this area so I'm very familiar with Baltimore, DC suburbs especially PG, Howard, and Anne Arundel Counties, and Annapolis.I believe strongly in continuing education so I am looking forward to participating on this site, learning from others, and making new connections.

I am very excited to take the plunge.

On the other hand less sophisticated investors (who typically haven't done a detailed analysis and don't have a targeted return they're aiming for) may be afraid of missing out, and acting out of greed just plunge ahead.If the market keeps going after the new tax is imposed it could mean that fundamentals don't matter which would be a sure sign of a bubble.

Aaron Mazarillo's was AWESOME, Shaun Reilly's was AWESOME, and Glenn and Amber Schworm's podcast was so inspiring that I nearly took the plunge to wholesaling, they talk about being $80k in credit card debt to doing 100+ deals.

I've spent all of my capital on my start up marketing and direct mail, and would like to see how I do as a real estate sales person before plunging another $1,300 toward this option.

I'ts good that you stopped lurking, and finally plunged in.

We are anxious to get started in single and multi-family rentals and are spending the next year educating ourselves before plunging in.

Congratulations on making the decision to take the plunge!
