Which is why I've made a commitment to myself that any time within the next 3 years, I will own a piece of real estate.There's two things I have always been: a risk taker, and a big dreamer.

I know I know I'm sure I'm breaking some rule but I felt I needed to reintroduce myself here as a way of holding myself accountable that this time I am FULLY committed to becoming a real estate entrepreneur!

I'd actually suggest that you speak to several to get a sense of what they bring to the table for first time buyers/investors before committing to working with anyone (assuming you're even going to go the "using an agent" route). 

So finding someone who is committed to serving you is key.

There needs to be a real commitment to being in that business today.

But as it stands now I'll be working when they have the next one.I'm not committed in buying in the henderson area, that's one of the many things I wanted to throw out to the forum- what is the best up and coming area in vegas to buy?

Great to hear that you're committing to your real estate investing @Abraham Sosa .

Think about what happened to Detroit; there was a time  when sellers couldn't give their buildings away and it took a very big commitment to get things back to where they are now.

I would not like to spend my money on rent and make a long term commitment  when I want to buy as soon as possible.The family that is buying my house told me that I can stay after closing if I need to.

We have a handful of friends that would like to invest or partner with us, but since we haven't gotten the specific property picked out, we haven't been able to finalize the numbers to get them committed to the deal.
