Well, I'm in need of advice again.

[Raul F.]

I think I've exhausted myself with all the reading I've been doing recently. Basically I've researched enough to feel confident enough to start putting myself out there. My concern is that I'm still not sure what I'm looking for.

For example:

I've identified a few homes in a great area that are vacant. I know from my research that the owners live across town. The problem is these homes are max 7 years old. Because of this Im assuming that I'll find myself in a short sale situation. That's what makes me nervous. I didnt anticipate dealing with short sales and I keep reading horror stories.

Am I getting this right? Do I want to stay away from young homes? Alternatively, are short sales the norm these days?

Thanks in advance.
