I will update you after I go as to how it was.Thank you for the welcome @Paul Timmins and for the tips!!

More importantly, do any of you have any tips to beat the procrastination urge?

Does anyone have any recommendations, tips, or insight into buying a property to rent out as a vacation rental?  

Been listening to the podcast and reading the forums to get a hang of everything.I ended up here because I was looking to buy a house so I set out to find out everything I could about the process and see if there was any insider trick or tip to get a better deal then just simply going to an agent and saying I want to buy a house.

Any tips would be greatly appreciated.David

I am kind of hesitant about a hard money loan because I plan on doing the work myself and I already work a full time job so this wouldn't be a quick flip in 30 days like you see on TV. but would be done in a matter of months.

Any tips on the process would help. 

No cable, I barely use my HVAC system, I don't eat out, I sold my car and bought a beater, cheap phone plan, etc.
