Last year out of the blue my good friend from high school told me he has been investing in real estate and having some success. On Oct 12, he and I will be meeting a realtor specializing in forclosed vacation condos in the Gulf Shores Alabama area. If we can find one in our price range, we are going to make an offer. I will not put up over $10,000 since this is my first deal. I have to admit, I am nervous about this, but I was nervous when I started construction on my new home. I am going to have to trust my instincts. If we can get a low enough price, we will try to flip the condo, if not we will rent it as a vacation condo.
