I'm just not comfortable with buying property without being able to look it over closely in person.I don't honestly think listing services like loopnet or the MLS will generate the best deals.

Since I'm looking at buildings in the 150k range, I can comfortably come up with 30k.

When I feel comfortable, I will make a move......keep me posted on your progress and I'll do the same...........

I asked her how she was so comfortable with ghosts, and she told me that she had rented another house where a guy had killed his girlfriend then himself, and she would see them around the basement.A couple of weeks later I woke up and was watching the news and saw the news reporter at the scene of a homicide.

"Just do it" may be good advice if you're buying tennis shoes, but it's a very poor way to start a real estate business.

Plus, my broker said the seller only wanted to give a quit claim deed and I'm definitely not comfortable with that.

Research it and have your numbers in your mind, and if its a good enough deal (and if your comfortable with the risk) make your offer without seeing the insides.

I don't want to limit myself to just NE mass but I think for my first deal I'd like to just get comfortable with the process and be able to walk through it and keep an eye on my property/work on it myself.I think you may be overestimating the kind of investment I can pull of right now.

The difference in having properly insulated windows and doors or not is staggering, both in terms of personal comfort and your heating and air conditioning bills.

Now that I've just completed my first investment real estate transaction I'm much more comfortable in doing it again in the future.
