I have always loved real estate investing. I've studied it off an on for a few years. After some very traumatic experiences last year I figured it was time to get my feet wet.
I probably looked at over 60 houses & made offers on probably 20. I got close several times but never got anything. It took me 6 months to finally close on a house (bought it at auction). I thought I would share my #, costs & lesson learned.
I bought this house before I discovered bigger pockets... so a lot of my decision making processes were very flawed. I made a lot of mistakes & I feel lucky that this is the house I ended up buying. I tried to get into a lot worse situations.
