@Elizabeth Colegrove -- thanks for busting me right off the bat, I appreciate it -- opening me back up to looking for deals around here, I'm always kicking around purchasing something cheap and turning it into a railroad flophouse (if I could only figure out a way to keep it from turning into a frat house) which Lincoln would be the best place to pull the trigger.

Be ready to pull the trigger wen you find one.

Without triggering the Ethics board. 

I finally decided to pull the trigger and start off with wholesaling properties, as I just finished school last year and am looking to build up some capital. 

Now, you can use that money and pull the trigger again.

I will try to find a deal I'm happy with (like Joe suggested above), but also attend an auction and have things in place so that I could pull the trigger at auction if I theoretically wanted to.

We go back and forth on:  A) Moving to FloridaB) Buying a place near the beach to rent out and within 2-3 years spend summers there and rent it out the rest of the year (my parents did something similar).C) Renting our house in Kentucky and moving to FloridaWe have equity in our house ~$30k, just need the guts to pull the trigger.  

Not as much concern on the North Side but we check the stats anyway before pulling triggers.  

I'm having a hard time pulling the trigger because it's a lot of cash to invest on one deal for myself.  

And watch out for triggering the due-on-sale clause!
