Even though I know what they were proposing was absolute garbage, make $115,000 your first flip and we have a classified lists of (R.E.O's), I was enticed and charmed like a snake and a flute.  

Charming backyard with a clear stream. 1.5 acres, peaceful and quiet, private but neighbors nearby.

I LOVE real estate and I grew up watching my parents buy and flip.

Ghost ads worked like a charm to get my buyers list going but my "we buy houses" only got one response and it was from another wholesaler looking to do flex options if i had any deals.

So - to prevent ourselves from being overwhelmed with FOMO, here are a few things we've learned from submitting our first offer:1) There are always other and even BETTER deals2) $4k isn't really that much different in the grand scheme of a 30 year mortgage3) Making offers truly isn't hard4) Zestimates can be deceiving5) Use blizzards in April to your advantage (only the fiercest go out for a showing in blizzard conditions)6) BP needs to have a podcast episode on negotiation tactics7) Old homes may have charm, but also a lot of baggage8) Sometimes you don't always need to look at the second unit 9) Emotions are fine, we're human, duh, but you should always keep them in check with the #s, if they work, trust them10) I welcome hearing your wisdom and insight you've gained after making your first offer.

Actually if you want to ask me specific questions that would be helpful as my general reply to about everything with this first project is "eye-opening," lol.That being said,  even though there were several times I wanted to have a nervous breakdown, the BIGGEST take-away from all this is I realized that I absolutely LOVE real estate.

I've heard some great things about the charming homes in Chevy Chase as well as the surrounding areas.  

There are other smaller towns that have their own charm as well.
