As I have said you can make some serious money just be informed as to what you are walking into.You will need to be on your toes at all timesYou will run into set backs (often)You will need to evict peopleYou will need to throw families onto the streetYou will make children homelessYou will have your house damaged You will need to hire a team of highly skilled people to be your eyes and ears on the groundYou will pay a premium for services provided on your real estate portfolioYou will be harshly judged by those outside of the industryYou will need to make decision based on the best interest of your business and not your feelingsWorks out great for some.

I'd dip my toe in anything before jumping in whole hog and try to make sure your funds are secured. 

On the other hand, I am wary of risks and changes .... so here I am dipping my toes in and ready to absorb any & all information that I can in order to make our dreams a reality!

Cool to see all the different backgrounds.BS Philosophy and Minor Business UT Austin (Quite honestly I did the college thing for my parents and because I got a full academic scholarship I really had no interest in going to college......but looking back on it now i'm really glad I went it was an amazing 4 years)RE LicenseElementary Teaching Certification (Taught 1st grade for 5 years)100 or so RE/Entrepreneurial books...Like a bunch of you guys I was always an entrepreneur.  

This house is larger than most and is frankly an eye-sore.

I didnt want to step on toes and burn potential bridges, asked him if he wanted to work together to do a joint deal and he declined.

Although somewhat cautious on sticking my toes into the honey dew I can be somewhat of an adventurer and don't mind investing in more speculative opps in smaller $$$ increments to start with.

What I'm seeing now it's gotten out of hand and we say we want the government out of our business but if these scam artists continue to fleece hard working people then it want be much longer when the government will step in and the reason you see states outlawing certain practices.Sorry for the rant but reading all this hit  a sore spot with me.
