Motivated to sell.

However, your post has given me the motivation I desperately needed...so I figured I would brain dump it all here first before turning it into an article :-)1) SBA - The Small Business Administration offers many services for Veterans and Active Duty Military personnel.

I am also seeking his or her advice on what would make my property more attractive to those buyers.I want to remain loyal, however, to my real estate agent with whom I have done business with for many years in purchasing my current and former primary residences and one investment property.How do I open a dialogue to seek the advice I seek with an agent in my area so that ultimately there is a mutual benefit in working with him or her while maintaining my business relationship with my longstanding agent with whom I will eventually use as the listing agent for my current property?

My wife and I are completely motivated by being able to spend as much time as we can with our daughter.

That's a big deal, I'm excited, intimidated, and motivated! 

With a good salary and ample savings, I would ask you what your goal, aspirations and motivations are when wanting to get into real estate investing?

Hey everyone, looking at jumping into this real estate game full time and am very excited and motivated!
