It's tempting to think that the market is just going to go up and up and up over the short-term future.

To start, this began back in 2012, but took me a while to get some traction and realize real estate was the way I wanted to go.Let me provide the brief version:First property I purchased was a short sale in Clintonville in Columbus, Ohio.

From our short discussion, they said they'd secure my financing, fix and flip the home.
