OfflineToday has been a really great day and it's going to end on a fantastic note. I received a message from my REA that they accepted my offer on a property I submitted last Wednesday. We've been going back and forth for a few days, but I have a super REA and she went to bat for me. The ARV is $264K & I got it for $118K, needs about $15K in repairs. I must say that the info on this site has been a great help so far and I look forward to not only getting more help and advise here but also being able to help others.
Thanks to ALL!!!!

Tina,
I'm keeping it in my sights, like you said their backup may not go through. I still have all the info & will recheck in a few weeks to see if it actually went through. If it doesn't go through then I will resubmit my offer so that they see I'm still interested.
I'm moving on to my next deal for now, I have a couple of possibilities in the works.
Today (4/6/12) I'm attending my DG 3 day event and will be loaded up with all sorts of information to use on my future deals. SOOOOO EXCITED!!!
