The whole thing makes me nervous but at some point you have to trust what you have learned and just GET IN THE GAME!

I got into the game about a 1 1/2 years ago and know this is my calling.

Essentially, we have established relationships with a variety of funding sources that provide funding for a variety of both domestic and international funding projects.

I'm new at this game, so have plenty to learn....TIA

But I'm focusing my R.I. in a littel closer in established neighborhoods.

The reality is they can do it “within reason”... that hard part is to establish what is within reason...They may be getting ready to sell the building or something...

This is the best way to avoid circumvention, of course you can run out of time on your contract before getting a buyer and then your deal is fair game.

I am young and have only recently established my credit

share the one "mistake" or item that knowing what you now know you would have done different in 2007...What I will do different and better in 2008... 1) Do fewer major rehab projects, and be pickier on the ones that I do. 2) Find and establish more and better contractors to work with. 3) Do more transactions that will make money both now and in the future... i.e. more lease options...

This is purely a numbers game, some talent but mostly numbers.Good luck
