@Anthony Nguyen You sound like a smart man, having a passion to invest as soon as it is financially reasonable for you to do so.

My passions are traveling, filmmaking, and creating programs for the inner-city youth.

I've written offers after offers.I am starting to contact agent first to feel out seller expectations.I am working expired, cold callsI also write with offer, my buyer understand all the issues and still will proceed....if it wasn't for my own passion for investing....Any advise, pearls of wisdom?

Then you can really follow your passion.

I have entrepreneurial passion in real estate and interested to expand my knowledge in Real Estate Investing.

I am very passionate about real estate and absolutely love learning about it.

Well after 33 years in the business I finally have taken action on that underlying passion.

I am passionate about travel and the outdoors and I am constantly planning my next trip (Although, sometimes affordability is in question) .

Working with the city of Los Angeles is challenging and its own learning experience ;) Until now I have worked my entire professional career in IT, but felt that it had ran its course and was looking for something I was more passionate about.

I'm also interested in meeting others in the community with a passion for house-flipping, including newbies.
