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.

@Alex ShaughnessyI posted when I was fresh to Bigger Pockets.

My wife and I are also fresh to the game here in Orlando.

That is one of the extreme cases, the houses that required 30k down were over a 100k... it's not fresh in my memory anymore though.

I currently live in a tiny town Grande Cache, Alberta where I manage an Environmental Contracting company working with First Nations, Oil, Gas, Forestry, Government and all the rest.My real estate experience is fresh at best but I am in a fantastic position to start with a nice piggy bank of life savings in the 10's of thousands, no debt, dual income with my partner and a fairly cheap rental situation at the moment.We have a wonderful opportunity with some land my partner was given on the Ontario, Quebec border aswell as some fantastic waterfront lots we have been looking to buy on West Coast Vancouver Island.

I rehabbed the hardwood floors, kitchen, bathroom, fixtures, outlets, and fresh paint on walls/windows.  

Or should I just sell and start fresh.

Say good bye to your freshly painted walls and nice drywall.

The only other type of thread that gets shut down (but that Josh did not mention) is a fresh but duplicated "guru" review thread - but in that case the thread is re-directed to the existing discussion so that any particular guru does not have the review broken up into too many different threads (a good thing to consolidate these IMO).
