You gave me confidence to do it.

I don't know about you, but when I approach the right age I am selling everything, buying an RV, and traveling the continent!

Doing this responsibly and showing it to your financial partner can also increase his confidence in you and the project.

@Kyle Mccaw that's awesome - I'm currently in Fort Worth now and have been doing some research and looking into neighborhoods, etc. for my first investment property...starting to realize strategies such as what you did above (Facebook posts, distressed properties) could be a good way to find a deal in todays market.Thanks for the confidence boost.A couple questions: you said 130K was invested in rehab.
