I do consider myself successful though, because I have made a commitment on a daily level to do whatever I have to do to make real estate investing a reality!

The operating agreement hasn't been completed yet, I could lower my percentage.

http://www.corelogic.com/about-us/researchtrends/n...And foreclosures are down to the lowest level since August, 2007 The 5 states with the highest foreclosures are:  Florida, Michigan, Texas, Ohio and California

Most of the demo has been completed, all windows replaced and the home was re leveled.

If we do this, it lowers our price range of a new home, which is proving to be a difficult find with my local market being near the top.

I have enjoyed their level of professionalism, due diligence, and proactive steady approach.  

Now may not be the best time to stretch for a deal and accept lower margins just to stay busy.

I honestly want to do this so bad but I always seem to find a reason not to and the reason on this house for me is the lower CoC return.

The other thing is in those rural areas rents are often lower.  

I'm stunned at the level of activity here and look forward to absorbing as much as I can.
