I'm going to start keeping an account of my adventures here.  I am still new to investing, but a lot has happened in the past year.  I'll do a recap of 2017 first, then try to update every month or two going forward.

Cheers

Bill

@William C. nice story. Great job keeping your eye on the prize. Better to back out of a bad deal than to own a bad deal. Keep us posted. My guess is that over time you will require much more than $20k in equity after sinking $20k into a property. Do take the time to meetup with @Jerry W. He knows what he is doing and is doing it in a smaller geography than you are.
