In reference to the recent bubble burst as an anomaly and not the rule, you can still safely assume that real estate prices will continue to climb over time even though more modestly than in the past.

The thing is I've been learning about real estate for almost 2 years and still haven't bought my first property and it's driving me insane .

I would call them and send certified letter signature required or if nearby drive to their last known address.

Although, there are some things that could transpire that no asset could be safe from being affected.

Although I am outside of my comfort zone and feel like an absolute tool (I'm lost and that's uncomfortable), my faith, drive, and want to achieve my family and life goals continues to motivate me to get outside of my comfort zone and push for continuous improvement.  

I'd suggest choosing an area that looks like it has potential and then spend your spare time just driving around.
