It's nuts how different they all are even by mere district! 

Then we tapped a HELOC and began going nuts buying Detroit rentals.We did that for 2.5 years, spent another year paying down the HELOC and then... we moved back to California (Central Coast this time).So here are my thoughts...1) You may find that you do not like North Carolina and wish to move back.

Right behind the handle is what's called the "packing nut".

Pursue the "low hanging fruit" for right now: buying a property for less than replacement cost, repositioning it for a resale profit or cash-flow.

Again am I being emotional or am I just enjoying the fruits of my hard work?

The Denver metro area is a tough nut to crack right now, as things go quickly!  

I think you might find that after 6 months or a year, you will get nuts (aka Board) and want to do something interesting and fun.  

I understand and respect if your business model is going after the low hanging fruit ... that is OK too.Bottom line, our business model is as valid as yours or as any body's else's and you should not assume that I give a bad service and no value to my customers.

Plus, REI just fits into my passion for investing and creating multiple avenues of passive income.My intention for BP is to meet some of the awesome people on here and to create fruitful relationships. 

There is no question that BP is a nice place to expand one's contacts, cultivate new relationships that will bear fruit in whatever activity RE related one is seeking.And also what I really like is people are not afraid to ask the tough questions from those that post.So 10 months 2300 posts or so...
