 Yes, and if Amazon could just hurry up and let us know! I do live in SF though, and have a property in Oakland, it also does well, but I don't have the money for the Bay Area anymore. I am glad I got in when I did though.

 Hi Alpesh, What east coast cities do you invest in? or which ones do you see that still have potential?

 Sorry for misunderstanding. I didn't mean that I invest in East Coast. I just noticed that the prices in CT, MA, NJ and some other markets are still far from 2006 peak. Where as, markets like WA, CA, OR, TX have already blown past 2006 peak. I used to invest in mid-west but since end of last year, I have moved to south and have invested in B'ham and Atlanta and may invest in FL markets.

 Oh ok, maybe I read that wrong. Thank you for clarifying. I have a property in Orlando and it does well. I have looked at Atlanta too, seems like its getting more and more expensive pretty quickly.

@Sharon Tseung - I would consider the metro Detroit area for real estate. The city is making a great comeback. The development in the downtown area is stretching out to the other areas of the city as well as the suburbs. I have a team here that includes a construction company, property management and brokerage as well. 

I just did a deal with some buyers from Australia and before they came over I took photos of the property, took video and also drove around the neighborhood and filmed it so they can get a good idea of the area. Of course, they eventually did fly over and got to meet my team as well as take a tour of the area. 

Which ever market you pick, make sure you do invest some time to meet your team and get a feel for the city. Good luck and let me know if you have any questions :) 

Hi Emilio,  What areas in Detroit are you seeing as good opportunities? I have been interested in the area for awhile. Are there new businesses? population growth?- Hailey

 Detroit has some of the worst population statistics - huge reductions over the last 15 years, and both household income and property values have declined as well.  Just some stats, take them how you will.

 Good to know! Maybe one day they will see a change.

@Sharon Tseung I live in East Bay and only invest OOS. Most of the markets except East Coast have gone up so it takes good amount of work to find good/great deals.

Let me know if I can be of any help. Good Luck!

 Hi Alpesh, What east coast cities do you invest in? or which ones do you see that still have potential?

Thanks Caleb, should I just search around in the areas I am interested for realtors, or is there somewhere I can find realtors that deal with investors?

Thanks Aaron, I am looking to flip more than to buy and hold. Outside of finding a wholesaler/wholesale deal, what would you suggest?

Hello,

I am new to the game here, I am wondering what you all think the best way to find my first deal would be? From what I have been reading, there are plenty of ways to go out and find deals. I realize maybe a wholesaler would be getting their fee on a deal, but do you all think that is the quickest easiest way to find a deal? I would be a cash buyer for my first couple of deals. Any insight would be helpful! Thank you in advance!
