Hello all, 

I have a huge interest in getting into the real estate market. I have little to no experience in this subject but i've been doing a bit of homework searching through properties, reading blogs and speaking with some colleagues that are investors in the rental market. As of now my main focus is flipping house and or owning rental properties. I currently live in New York but i have been looking into other places like North Carolina, Kentucky, Florida and Arizona. I am working with a small budget so i have to start small and work my way up.

I am from the Lexington, KY area.  My husband and I are new to all of this.  We just recently purchased 2 duplexes just north of Lexington.  One thing that I know for sure, is that the real estate market in the central Ky area is very stable.   You don't get great deals unless they are in bad areas, and need a lot of work.  There just isn't as much fluctuation in the housing prices as in other areas.  No great losses, but no great gains either.
