Hi All 

Im a first time buyer/investor (the reason for investment is because I cant afford right now to buy where I live) and after watching, reading listening, I need an experienced advise.  

I have 2 locations that i'm interested to but/invest in a house for few personal reasons. (which one of it is I might move to the area in a year or so). 

My budget is 250K-270K. 

1. Hollywood/Fort Lauderdale Florida - at this location it will allow me to get a 1 or 2 bd condo. 

2. Houston TX - it will allow me a 3bd house. 

from an investor prospective: which one is the best to go with? (area wise). Im not familiar with those markets and I might be good with either, but wanted to get an expert opinion. 

If my question is too broad please let me know.

Thank you 

Nathan

Thank you all for the warm welcoming 

Hello Everyone

First of all, very excited to be here. This is amazing place with tons of info, (also a bit overwhelming), so just wanted to say thank you all. 

Week and a half ago I decided to become an RE agent, so I started collect info online and discovered a fantastic, exciting uplifting world of investing (so fired up) so I started to do what everyones doing - Overloading my brain with videos, blogs, podcast, books ( Just finished the Bob chapter in Brandon Turner book - Investing In RE with No (and low) ...) and Created my first year plan. (working on 5 ... ) 

Anyway, I'm very interested in start creating income using lease option method, I feel its the most effective method for me at this point. 

Before I'm starting to call all the craigslist listings in my area, Any advices or guidelines to follow? Tips of what to look for as a newbie (properties that easier to deal with)? 

Any article/blog/answer about meeting with the seller after the cold call? closing method? 

is a lease option form is a standard for all states? 

Should I have a layer or its a very simple process? 

If theres really important info that I haven't asked about (since I don't know yet what to ask) I'll appreciate the adding. 

Btw, Any Investors from The Rockland county, NY area that can share or explain a bit about the market here?

Any special instruction to know?

Thank you all

Nathan
