So, I'm sitting at the table signing my life away with my real estate agent to my left and the pen in my right hand for which I had no idea what I was about to get into.  I was 25 years old and a year and a half out of college.  I just started my second year teaching in the Cohoes City School District.  I'm buying my first house for $80,000. It's a 3 unit fixer-upper on 4th Ave in Lansingburgh.  I've always been interested in real estate and the next 3 years would surely be an education to the start of my journey.  Closing day was on Halloween and I was so excited (or nervous depending, on how you look at it).  I drove straight from the closing table to the house ready to get to work.  I had my DIY book in hand with a handful of tools because out of the 3 apartments, there wasn't 1 that was complete and ready to live in.  I remember having to go outside and into the front door for the front apartment in order to use the shower because mine had a hole in the tube that went straight to the basement.  But that wasn't the chore for today!
