Now you can sit on the side track and wait and watch all the other trains go speeding by and say to yourself I am going to do that some day when I have everything in place.

Im pretty sure i get overwhelmed because of getting sidetracked into learning about another niche.

I COMPLETELY MESSED THIS QUESTION UP BECAUSE I WAS SIDETRACKED.

I began looking into REI about 12 years ago but got a little sidetracked when I went into the military.

Hope you don't feel like I'm side tracking your post, but just thought sharing my story from the opposite side might also be helpful.Had a 3 package deal of which 2 of the 3 were rented and I told him that I would highly suggest having inspections done just for his assurance. 

I got totally sidetracked today when I was researching the property across the street from the property for sale (which is the mailing address for the owner of a Central Valley property I'm trying to track down).

I don't want to side track this conversation, so please go to this link for posting on THE MOST EXPENSIVE properties in your area..$68MM!!!

OK, I am getting side tracked, when I show homes, it seems that people don't care too much about the exterior color, especially not in this price bracket.

I got sidetracked by personal issues until this month, and the house is still there.

and you must live there.if you decide to have your mail forwarded there and have someone rent it from you, like a relative or whatever - you are violating the rules [NOT RECOMMENDED].purchasing investment homes to live in, fix up and sell is definitely a viable option - it takes discipline and focus - many people who make these kinds of investments can get side-tracked, do too much to the property, get married, have kids...life happens and before you know it, it's not a true "investment" property anymore...it's your home.
