Also man I’d be stoked leaving that much in a property.

I've since been perusing forums and listening to podcasts for the last 9 months while searching for that right deal and I'm stoked to be closing on my first investment property next week! 

I was stoked that I could also drive to LA and it was only about 5 hours.

@Nelson Stokes visit your local county office and they might be able to help.

Hey @Robert Ashline,Super stoked about your goals!

Josh, stokes that you are finding and analyzing deals; good going.

But it's an improving area that I am pretty stoked about, and I decided I would "bet on the appreciation" just a little bit here.Mistake 3: I estimated the repair costs myself, not taking into account the cost of working on a property this old, in NY state, in an area that has a lot going on and not a huge shortage of work right now.So my estimate was purchase price of $85k, renovations $60k (ya, I know), and hopefully an appraised value around $175k for a successful BRRRR deal.

@Adam Fleck, I can feel it too, all of the support has stoked my fire even more!

I'm stoked to start making connections with all of you and soaking up all that I can!

You're stoked because this is enough to pay off the seller and rehab.
