@Brian Garrett  to me it just means your market rebounded and is strong.. its a development game for the next few years have to create your own deals.. does not help with all the TV guru's teaching flipping this creates a ton of competition that did not exist.

It has a few personal belongings remaining ( 1980's TV and 2 beds ) but is mostly empty with power and water disconnected. 

You will either need to go get a job and save your $$$ (this is what I would recommend in addition to number 2)or you will need to find a partner who can provide the $$$ while you provide deals and management.Wishing you the best on the journey, just remember.... youtube is just good TV theres a lot that goes into this that can't possibly be covered even in a 45 min podcast.Good luck brotha!

Now, when I saw the name "Nicole Curtis", I was expecting a TV star from the show "Rehab Addict" ;)

Like many newbies such as my self, I happened to come across a segment on TV talking about real estate investing.

I'm a freelance Film/TV Coordinator.

All of that makes great soundbites for tv but terrible policy.

But, there is one thing that is necessary . . . . you have to get from behind the books, the computer, the tv courses and you have to start taking actual action.

Not to say you can't get high returns - but people fall into the HGTV world of seeing people make all this money and there is a big difference between what someone says on the TV/internet and reality.
