Now it is time to execute i am getting cold feet as i literally dont know anything about Steelton.

I've spent way too much time in the 'analysis paralysis' stage, and it's time for me to just execute and be OK with not trying to get everything perfect on my first deal.I'm primarily interested in cash flow, and I intend to be reasonably hands off (I have a full time job, so I don't have a lot of spare time).

I currently work in the Software business as a Sales Executive and would love the chance to leave it to see my kids grow up 7 days a week!

I got my start working in a real estate office as an Executive Assistant.

It is 50 cents a pop and works flawlessly.

When I first heard this, it sounded like a lot of work...boy we had no clue...We hired a contractor to execute the plan for $15,000.

As for plan B, I guess they're still counting/betting on the market condition heading up for at least 2 years, plus the high return (given those are executable numbers, just like you said) as a safety net.

An offer typically should tried to not be be executed till after that time frame.

(Sidebar   - An example required in NC for Contract for Deed (your attorney may suggest something similar for your case): If the property being sold is encumbered by one or more deeds of trust, mortgages, or other encumbrances evidencing or securing a monetary obligation which constitutes a lien on the property, the seller must notify the purchaser in a separate written disclosure, provided at or before the execution of the contract, in 14-point type, boldface, capital letters, the following statement: THIS PROPERTY HAS EXISTING LIENS ON IT.

This is infinitely repeatable, assuming that you are as good at managing managers and executives as you are direct reports.Working with your brain (which I'd use interchangeably with "White Collar") requires a college degree, and may not necessarily be the best way to get started.
