Hi All,I am ready to pull the trigger on the right deal for my first property purchase.

Sounds naive but id like to pretend to not know anything at all so I am fully educated and knowledgable before pulling trigger.

Don’t forget to tag anyone you talk to inside a forum (this triggers an e-mail so they know to check the forum again).

I have been recovering from a back injury for over a year now.

We have gone out and looked at a few, but haven't stumbled upon one we are ready to pull the trigger on yet. 

I'm a Recon Marine and have attained a lot of lifelong injuries (and cool pictures) over my career.

@Chris Mason this post was really meant to help my wife and I pull the trigger on getting into real estate.

Complete the analysis process on those "sample" properties so you can determine exactly what price point, property condition, and market best fits your investment plan when you're ready to pull the trigger.  3.  

It covers the fact that the property is sitting there vacant and that during rehab things might go missing (tool & materials thefts) or damages / injuries could occur (like a fire).

There are too many ways for things to go wrong , including poor workmanship, injury claims from an unisured worker to exactly what is going on with your situation.
