Atlanta BP community,My dad and I have always wanted to get into the House Flipping business and we finally have some money that's burning a hole in our pockets.

I think you nailed it when you said if it's not serving your purpose, let it go, and find something that does.

I am finally at the point where I want financial freedom and I want to love my work.

I have decided to follow the advice of almost everyone who answers Brandon's final question on the podcasts ("what do you think seperates successful real estate investors from those who give up, fail, or never get started?").

Over time, I watched businesses close and move out, the center fall into disrepair, it become virtually abandoned by the out-of-state owner, and finally clinging to life with the faint pulse of a sole business - a modestly successful local gym.

We are planning to come down to Florida to check things out before we do a final decision.

The tenants you could attract would be the final determinant.

And, finally,"how many mortgage free properties do you own and how much real estate equity do you have?"

After some pushing we finally got the signed and approved itemized bid along with the 25% deposit on Saturday ( 2 days before we start work...)later in the day they asked if we were licensed and bonded.

I'm happy to finally share a story in the success stories section!
