I write the following paragraphs under the assumption that the bad credit investor has some track record wholesaling and/or flipping.

However, I've felt like i have to start saving for a long time before i get into my first deal because i don't have a track record in investing.

@Stacie Elizabeth There was never a condo market in Merion Village...you guys are in the experimental stages here...if your condos sell, they will be #3 and #4 in the last year...the two that have sold are of comparable finishes, but they are further north (priced lower as well)...you are on the Hungarian Village border and things get risky quickly...you're looking for a very special risk tolerant buyer...and they are focused in other areas right now...as Parsons redevelops things will change...you're just early in the game here in a location with no track record.

Sounds like you're on the right track.

While I plan to continue along that track, when I move, I'd like to do purchase a fixer upper to force equity into our next home.

@Patrick Allen Thanks for steering this back on track.

Professionals with decades of experience and very impressive track records do all the heavy lifting for you.

I'm glad to hear I'm generally on track.
