Don't be afraid to ask questions.

Don't be afraid to make colleague requests or send private messages.

And don't be afraid to ask "stupid" questions.

OK - So at this point I am interested in purchasing the property, with or without my brother. ( he is interested but still afraid of this rental property stuff, his spouse is afraid as well).

I'd be afraid that something so fringe would do nothing but generate a red flag for the IRS to look at me that much closer.Run away fast.

Definately not afraid of sweat equity and not distracted by ugly carpeting or outdated kitchens/bathrooms.So give me a push already!

I don't think the house has been flooded for more than a week and the auction is happening at the end of the week.I'm not afraid of complete tearouts, but I'm wondering if I'm going to run into problems with a sinking slab or under-slab utility problems.

I'm not afraid of rising prices- that just means you make your money on the back end of the deal after the refurb.

Don't be afraid to jump in and help answer questions or ask some of your own.Have you setup your "Keyword Alerts" yet?

It might be good for you to discuss the deal with a few people, and be sure you want to cancel the escrow, and aren't just afraid to go forward.
