Hello BiggerPockets community,I'm thrilled to join this forum and seek advice from experienced real estate investors.

I was thrilled to see 2 new construction homes being built on one of my blocks that I was getting ready to give up on recently.

So far I have learned a ton and this new found thrill of real estate really has me excited to jump right in!

If people want to gamble that prices will continue going up, why not let them give you money to do it?

Interesting, I have found that I love the thrill of the chase.

It's a bit of a gamble.

It is EXACTLY the same as if you throw mailers in the wind and where they land they will land.It is A GAMBLE!

The tenant has expressed that she's not too thrilled with the laundry setup, and I can't say I blame her.Thanks in advance!

Even when young and could not really afford it, I would not hesitate to buy a new car, knowing full well that financially it was a bad deal.Taking a risk on a RE investment was just too much of a gamble - why, because it was different, it was not the norm, that made it scary.Even when I had plenty of capital to back me up, it was still difficult to make the first buy.I still suffer from analysis paralysis when looking at properties - that's probably due to some fear still existing.I'm still a relative newbie in the REI world, but every day it's becoming a little less scary.

I havent done a thrill researh but the ARP value in this area seems to be around $40k to $50K. 3.)
