I have always wanted to work for myself, and quite frankly, now seems like a perfect time to make that dream a reality.

Perfect- Thanks!

I didn't say the system we have now is perfect, it needs work.

Perfect point!

I think insurance that would cover me in my first deal or two may be the perfect solution to my dilemma, if such an insurance policy exists.

I say this because if i come across a lead i would like to think that i could find a way to make money from it one way or another, but most of the time, and what alot of people will tell you is that you should focus on one strategy (wholesaling) and move on to the next once you perfect it.

As Ned is the perfect living example, it can be done and he and his partner have ramped their business up to that point now after almost a decade but they started small, I believe with $1000. 

However; there are still places where you can get in to the market.Though we have high prices, we have what nobody else in the country has, we have low unemployment (Orange County is only 5%), a very broad based economy, high wage earners (meaning people can afford mortgages and higher rents) , world class universities and medical centers, amusement parks, recreation of all types, cultural offerings, and unsurpassed natural resources, plus, perfect year round weather.
