My name is Austin and I'm not brand new, but have been gone long enough to warrant a fresh introduction.I started in real estate in Florida, mostly by accident.

It has fresh paint and new appliances.

Then I'm going to add $75,000 to give the owner some cash for a fresh start which will bring my total offer to $282,400.I can knock 2 birds out with one stone by helping the home owner avoid foreclosure and possibly filing a BK to keep the home.

I'm a young investor who fell in love with real estate fresh out of high school.

I could imagine that learning a new market is kind of like starting out fresh, but the advantage you have is your knowledge of the process and your network.

I'm pretty confident its priced to market, and its nice, fresh and clean so in my opinion it should show well.

I have repeatedly needed to hunt down new agents for our REO's because I wanted a new fresh firm to work with or we entered a new market, etc.

So I dipped into my network and secured a wonderful job and was making a pretty impressive living for someone my age who was fresh out of college.
