Hey guys,I found this listing and it's a perfectly good example of the type of investment I'll be targeting.

I thought this might be the perfect opportunity to gain my 1st rental property, however… 1.

Your timing is perfect.

I have a contract, although I am not confident that it is perfect.

I have been doing plenty of reading (definitely a popular trend I see in here amongst the newbies), perfecting my credit score, working on a plan to approach this, setting my short term goals as well as long term goals.

That being said, I do leave some meat on the bone for one guy that buys consistently from me.

She left toys at the top of her stairs with no child gate (and was told by us how dangerous that was), and her daughter tripped over one, fell down the stairs and broke her collar bone.

Makes perfect sense to me.

It is perfectly acceptable for a child to be afraid of the dark; the tragedy is when men are afraid of the light....Plato

It felt (and still feels to this day) like a rare perfect scenario: Distressed homeowner still gets to live in the home she raised her kids in; bank gets out of a difficult situation; I got into the RE business and had instant unrealized gain.
