I bought many late night courses from Robert Allen, Carlton Sheets... and Attended a few seminars before finally taking the plunge.

And to avoid too many sleepless nights, be sure to have a cushion of cash when you are ready to take the plunge.

Or maybe you are such a Genious because in your profile it says you have completed " 2 "deals..... and you have been working for your parents on properties since you were a kid and FINALLY decided to take the plunge so your jelous that im half the age you are when i started...

I haven't decided if I want to take the plunge just yet.

As you get better at working with bird dogs you'll find that you have more time and money for other pursuits - like deciding what to tell your boss when you quit your full-time job and take the plunge into full-time real estate investing.

By taking control of their future, IRA funds holders who self-direct can immediately be at work in the multifamily and apartment real estate market and start generating significant wealth in a retirement plan without the concerns and fears of the plunging world credit markets.

It has helped out a lot.I'm still not quite ready to take the full-time plunge yet due to market conditions.

I've finally decided to take the plunge!

I just want to see if there are other Chicago newbies that are currently taking the plunge and would like to share ideas, input, support, resources, etc.

I'm trying to learn as much as I can before I take the full time plunge and some of my questions are as follows: Starting out, (and I know some of this is based on market) is it best to invest in, single family, multi-family, or commercial?
