I have been getting a lot of feedback of what to do and feel pretty confident that I can do it myself.

If you're confident you'll follow-through on the deal and find an end-buyer, there's no reason not to open escrow and pull title...If you're not confident that the deal with close, you probably want to wait...

If all the comps are in a narrow range, you have good confidence in your value estimate.

That doesn't include any money costs, misc holding costs (utilities, taxes), not any room for anything to go wrong.Are you confident it will appraise for $30K?

Are you confident that all the management costs are baked into that cap rate?

Yes you can do it without money or credit, of course, having one or both can speed up your process.As for the buyers list, there have been many debates on what to do first, but in my opinion, it is best to have the buyers list forst and here is why: You can negotiate deals better with confidence knowing you are shopping for a specific property for a specific buyer in mind, if you don't have the list of buyers, how do you know what deals to go after!

I feel highly confident I will be able to work with him for getting some early notices on properties.

On the blog, I provide some advice and knowledge to new investors, so that they can gain the confidence and momentum needed to buy their first rental property.

I know Rich makes his way there (and many other places) often, so I am confident there will be another opportunity.

Trying to find that happy medium between taking the time to feel comfortable and confident in what I'm doing, but not waiting too long, so I can take advantage of the abundance of low priced properties.Jake
