Where to begin - REI

[Grayson Warren]

I am a beginner looking to purchase my first REI property and have a couple questions:

Is it wise to jump around to where the hot markets are to look at properties to invest in as opposed to sticking to one city or zip code and becoming an expert there?

I have several colleagues who have been obtaining 0 down construction loans in the Little Rock, AR and Conway, AR areas. Is this realistic for any city to obtain these types of loans? What are the pros and cons of this?

Thanks so much!
