I am pretty new to this game, and today as I was talking on the phone I felt like such a lying hypocrite by acting all confident, pretending this wasn't just my fourth house.

Or is this not the right time for me to get into the game?

Im very green at this game, and finding a good starting line is being a problem so far..

I'm new to the game, but excited to get started.

Experienced investors understand the game and aren't going to burn bridges, but on the flip side getting burned by back stabbing investors is part of the business.

u say you're new to it, but you own a duplex already...combined with your previous experiences - you're probably a lot more ahead of the game than you think.the 20% cash on cash return combined with the 90% LTV and out of state rentals you're considering - the chances for the 20% return will be very tough.let us know how it comes along.as far as places - i don't see anyone jumping up to shout a place to invest in - it depends on what you're looking for.i have a friend who's nuts over Rochester New York.

. :) Ryan, Being that Sally was relatively new to the game I just thought I would piont out what I noticed.

Take a look at the property analysis tool on this site to get some idea of the numbers you need to look at.Now, if you are planning to live in it, then it's a whole different game and you need to consider a bunch of subjective things and how they mesh with your personal tastes and desires.

A dream is but a look into YOUR future...Nobody can truly see your vision from your prespective, and though we love our friends and family, we can never let them discourage us or set them off the path we intend for OURSELVES...Im a newbie, in real estate and similar to others here, i try not talk about what im doing too much, cause you always get the "nows not the right time" or "you can loss allot of money in real estate" but these comments usually come from people that have no real knowledge of real estate investingYou are in the right place, although im new to BP i can already see that by surrounding myself with these Sharp and knowlegdable investors, i can get all the motivation i need to succeed in the game....You can too Just my two cents.... good luck :D

Are you open to the possibility of networking at a game?
