Now I am closing on my second home and won't be long until I pursue my next deal. 

I guess I better follow through so that I can take my first steps into investing in real estate. 

I would like to know how to refinance the house in my name alone to further pursue other properties.

On first glance, it looks like a property I should pursue; however, I’m a newbie and probably should seek the counsel of the more wise BP community.

If you are building, they are not afraid of steps; here in Nashville new 3 and 4 story homes are going in (with roof top decks) so they can fit 2 on a lot and give them a view.

Buying a property is the very last step in a very long road to successful investing.

Bravo for pushing past that initial anxiety and taking the necessary steps to (re)build towards your dreams.Let me know if you’re thinking about investing locally in San Diego.

3. after completing steps 1 & 2 above, inform the listing agent that you wish for all your offers and counter offers be instantly forwarded to seller by email within 2 hours of submission Just like in their pictures where they're always giving the Thumbs Up, all realtors have their smart phones surgically attached to the side of their heads, on their person or within reach 24/7, so they can do as requested above.   

It is all about taking the steps in the right direction.
