And I will indeed reach out to you for an LO referral when I am ready to take the plunge.

I wouldn't mind chatting with you about taking your first plunge in the Syracuse.

I’m doing research on brokerages and I’m trying to decide if a traditional brick and mortar like Keller Williams is the way to go or if I should take the plunge with Exp Realty.Training and support/network is most important to me.

But in the meantime, do we sink our cash in now and barely break even waiting for that to happen... or do we bail and let someone else with a stronger stomach take the plunge?

I have been obsessively consuming REI content for the past month and took the plunge to create an account on BP!

Congrats on "taking the plunge" so-to-speak.

It lets you take the next step and keeps him as a safety net..I know in my personal experience that I have made decent money over my life and I have wanted to do real estate for the last 10+ years but recently I took the plunge and sold my other business inventory off paid all my bills in advance through next January and paid off all my past debts and am working on fixing my credit currently around a 640 to try and get it to a 720+ by years end and I have a decent working capital of around 40k in cash now.

Decided to go ahead and put some posts on bp to try and encourage new investors to take the plunge.

NOTE: and had the government and industry not allowed it to become so easy to go BK, FC or to do a Short Sale, there would not have been such an avalanche of borrowers walking away from their Financial Obligations and Promises To Repay and values would not have plunged so far down!

I work full time and cannot drive across town to shovel snow or plunge a toilet.I think PM companies count on the owners being truly absentee.
