It wasn't until the spring of 2014 that the fire was reignited and a newfound excitement for the industry was formed.I'm looking forward to being a part of the community here and hopefully we can learn and grow together!

The flame was just recently reignited and I'm fighting the urge to over analyze everything daily and I have to say that BP has played an incredible role in my action thus far and for that my future success will be forever indebted to both Josh Dorkin and Brandon Turner and the countless other seasoned investors imparting all their experiences with us.My REI goals are to focus initially on building my wholesaling business and build an incredible marketing system that allows me to do 1 to 2 deals a month until I can save and reinvest enough capital to be able to turn my strategies to fix and flips and ultimately build an incredible RE portfolio that brings in enough cash flow every month that will replace my income for my full time job so that I could focus that 240hrs/month on my REI business and to continue in my pursuit in attaining my Doctorate in Nursing. 

I have came back to the address since driving passed it during July 4th and it was still boarded up which re ignited the excitement, but I questioned why in the last two years no one has picked it up.

Demand is slow to re-ignite because people hoard cash just in case things get worse.

We had a really nice meetup in January and hence am reigniting this thread.

Now, as a result of our overseas assignment, the renting out of our own home has re-ignited my itch to invest in RE, although I'm sitting on my hands until we return to the States.  

Since then I've started, operated and managed 6 different businesses.Over the last 2 years I've re-ignited my long time passion for real estate and am now in a position to do something about it.

Bottom line, ready to free myself and family of the monotony of the weekly paycheck to better our lives and eventually live by our own rules and on our terms, and after listening to a few podcasts here, the spark has been reignited to try and do so via RE.

The rent/lease is too hight and there's no rent control to reign it in.
