As always, consult an informed attorney and CPA before pursuing any course of action.

For example: Available cash, credit, skillsets (construction background, finance, etc), time available.Once you determine a course of action, there is ample help right here at BP.

It would be great to network with like minded people and take action!

Harris county is a blast because it is a total zoo and there is more action than you can handle on your own unless you only have your eye on a couple properties.

With 4 kids I'll bet there's a decent amount of damage.When you file an eviction and the tenant moves out before action, does the eviction still go on their record or does it become a small claims issue?

Take action!

And so, you must take a deep breath and step through a door, take some action, allow yourself to Act on those dreams.If you do not fully believe in yourself - no worries.

I really appreciate the action items you suggested.

They are full of positive thinking, take action mantras, and arguing why you should like real estate.

I'll take the unpopular opinion and say that if a "guru" or initial investment is going to light a fire under your feet and force you to take action, DO IT!
