Thanks everyone for your input. The areas I have been researching for potential deals are. Salem N.J., Allentown Pa ( above 15 st) and Bethlehem Pa. As most of you mentioned I need to get out to these potential locations and get a good feel for the area as well as speak to some local investors.

Hey Vikram, I am all set to go. I took care of child care for the 3 days and will be booking my room momentarily. Thanks again for the consideration.

I have been considering a few buy and hold properties in some areas that I am not too familiar with. I am doing my homework on these particular areas and trying to pick apart each aspect of the numbers. However, I could use some suggestions on how to determine the strength of the rental market in a given area? I have called a few local real estate agents and tried to pick their brain on how the rental market was as well as looking on Zillow to see how many rentals were available in these areas. It would be great to hear from some others whose primary focus is long Term Rentals and who have ventured into areas that they are all not too familiar with and how you went about determining if there was a good rental market. Thank you in advance.

. It is important for me to attend the Summit because I have finally decided to put everything else aside and follow my dreams in real estate. I believe attending the Summit will help me learn some crucial points to help me achieve my goals for my family and I. . . it would also be great to meet some of the members who are actively doing what I strive to do. Regardless of whether I am lucky enough to get a ticket or not, this is a very generous gesture, so thank you.

Thank you Jeff. Points taken. On a side note, I think I managed a way to attend the conference and I am very excited. Hope to learn a lot as well as network with some BP members.
