THANK YOU to the BP community for giving me the knowledge and courage to buy my first property out of state.After 2 months on the site, and plenty of webinars (Thank you @Brandon Turner)- especially the one when I committed to myself to buy within 90 days- today it happened.I took the plunge and bought my first property with the help of some amazing people on BP who provided great referrals.  

I would save up enough to cover 3 months of monthly expenses, and then take the plunge into ownership.Also, the whole concept of the mortgage being cheaper than rent is generally overstated.

Once you take the plunge on your first one, the second, third, etc. will become much easier.

I currently reside in Boston doing sales in the e-commerce sector and have decided to take the plunge into real estate investing ever since I had the pleasure of reading "Rich Dad Poor Dad".

I spent some time investing with my father in the Georgia market, but never took the plunge myself.  

Maybe i am going crazy, (after looking at 4-5 deals a day, that may be true) but i feel like i may be plunging in some information into the rental calculator wrong or there are just not that much good deals in the Torrance Area (in regards to traditional investing). i have done a quite few deals with creative investing in the South Bay arrea but I am still having troubles with the appplacation. can anyone help?

. :)I decided to finally take the plunge and start looking for a deal.

I will be retiring from the Army in early 2017 and will be taking the plunge into house flipping. 

Although I have multiple goals, taking that plunge to that first property is full of unknowns. 

Obviously I plan to research as much as I can on buying REOs before taking the plunge, but wanted to know if I am on the right track.
