I hope you did, as I think it's better to be in the game as opposed to the sideline, waiting.  

Painful for many, but cash is king and I'm sitting and waiting on the sidelines to buy like I bought in 2011 and 2012. 

Hey BP Family.After two years of sitting on the sidelines I am finally ready to start looking for properties again.I need a realtor with financial experience on the west side of Cleveland.Does anyone know of anyone that may fit this description?

I'm officially off the sidelines!

Maybe it's best to sit on the sidelines and wait to get in?

If I were to spend another year analyzing on the sidelines, I don't think I would have corrected mistakes I've made (underestimating repairs mostly).  

They are my friend as they screw up the shortsale while I wait on the sidelines like a circling barracuda for the foreclosure which ends up being half the price they tried to shortsale it at.I think it's a case of people hearing "shortsales are a good investment" and running to them like lemmings.

Now after rebuilding my credit from the market crash I feel I am ready to enter rehabbing as an official business as a sideline to my main job.What I'm doing now is preparing by learning all I can and hopefully getting better advice than I did from the TV in the 80s.

Being someone who doesn't like to sit on the sidelines I made the decision that I was going to make a real go at it. 

It's ok to sit on the side line until the market crashes/corrects.It's feeling a little bubbly in the US.
