I'm excited, and at my stage in life, I don't get excited about much!

or Are you still in the negotiating stage?

If it's a 75 year old bungalow or appartment building in the center city, yes, I'd make those calls.I don't think there is such as thing as too much due diligence expecially for newbies.

You can always go to one or two meetings as well and then decide if it is beneficial for you.I'm not crazy about the meeting content, but the opportunity to meet people in various stages of investing can be a great resource.

I am in the final stages of my first one hiring most of the work out.

I am going to a networking meeting via "Meet Up" it's centered around women entrepreneur's in the Horry County area. 68 people are going.

Some of the gurus like to talk about the different stages in the real estate cycle.

I like overseeing a project, doing the math, staging, etc.

PatLive is just a call center so you provide them with a script and they go through it with your callers.

We tour them in performing arts centers across the country, music festivals and clubs, so at least one thing I bring to the real estate table is negotiation skills :) I'm sure I'll be picking your Will Barnard and Joshua Dorkin's brains a bit.
