I think at some point we all just decide to take the plunge and make ourselves do it!

I use to play their as a kid, nothing like playing a little basketball and enjoying the Star Plunge hot springs!

Ready to take the plunge but would like advice on how best to leverage my funds:Savings: $50kCredit: 800+Credit card/vehicle/student loans: paid offLocation: CharlotteMarket: SFH or DuplexI know I want to put little into this first deal but can’t swallow the fact of shoveling out the PMI when I have the funds.

Before taking the plunge into a larger commercial investment, it is important to evaluate your current financial situation.

I have had an account for a couple of years and have finally decided to make the plunge after listening to the podcasts and the constant call to action has finally resonated.  

Apologies in advance that this is so long.Backstory:I’ve been researching and learning about real estate wholesaling (listening to BP Podcasts, listening to Flip2Freedom Podcasts, etc.) for the last year and finally took the plunge and launched my business in January of this year by creating an LLC, starting a buying and selling website, and am in the process of figuring out a CRM (going to use the Enterprise paid version of ZOHO).I purchased an Absentee Owners list from list source (40%-100% Equity, Last Market Sales Date 2010 and older, etc.) for my target market (which is about two hour’s away drive time) and came up with about 2,000 names.

Congrats Jason on taking the plunge in RE investing!

Currently working on building my financial education before I make the plunge and I’m really excited about investing!
