HELP: Finding my niche?

[Anton Taylor]

Hello BP Community:

After months of reading and reviewing the BP forums, I'm still struggling to define my niche. I enjoy learning about different ways people are leveraging real estate to reach their goals. However, my learning continues to pull me in different directions. 

Things I've been considering: wholesaling, pre-foreclosures, auction, holding vs fix and flip. I feel like I'm all over the place. I live in Sacramento, CA but considering investing in Detroit area. I'm from Detroit and much more familiar with the neighborhoods. After reading the forums it's become clear that Detroit is a renter market. Maybe that answers my question about niche. Maybe the greater Sacramento area is the best option for me to start. I feel like I'm all over the place.

Is out of state investment a bad decision for newbies? 

I would love to learn how, why and what helped you define your niche?

Thanks in advance BP community!
