real estate

I have been considering buying investment property for about the past 5 years, but I normally talk myself out of it with the traditional excuses...too much time, effort, money, risk, etc...

Suddenly-it has occurred to me again that I might enjoy it, I enjoy working with my hands, I enjoy the idea of buying something, taking a risk and trying to improve it, and then selling it for a reasonable profit.

So, I have scoped out a few properties, talked to my banker friend and expert, and I will see what happens.
