Their cars had been broken into twice, their home had been broken into once while they were gone, and their alarm system was triggered once while they were sleeping when an intruder broke down their front door.

And I have a 20% chance of buying in Los Angeles/Orange county and 20% chance I'd buy in West Palm Beach/ Lakeworth (I really love the area)Timeline:  I have 45 days starting Thursday and another 6 months to close on the upleg starting thurs :)  I'm actually in escrow on a Ft Lauderdale property now and probably going to cancel it because of building issues.I rush into everything then when I have looked at a few dozen maybe walked a hundred I pull trigger.

At the very least it'll be an excuse to head back down for a bit to meet contractors/agents/PMs (I always rec making the trip to meet and greet before pulling the trigger) ;)Best of luck!

Wanted to sell more but didn’t want to trigger the reporting but requirements. 

Too many investors get stuck in the mud and never pull the trigger.
