All,

I am flying to Chicago in early October to look at some investment property.  If any of you have suggestions on neighborhoods or any details/niches, I am all ears! 

Also, if anyone that owns property in the area is free for breakfast, I am buying! 

Best,

Alex

Most definitely, Jay.  Sacramento was my first choice, but it is inflated at the moment.  Do you know of any other markets that might work in that price range?

All,

I live in the Bay Area where all real estate is way too expensive to break in! I need to break into a good market with homes in the 100k - 200k range. I dont have a problem going to other states.

What are some good markets in the US for cashflow?

Please advise

Hey All,

Im going to be drawing up a business plan pertaining to my new career in commercial real estate. My firm focuses on four primary aspects of commercial real estate: Single & Multi-Tenant Net Lease Property Sales including Portfolios,
Corporate Sale-Leaseback Transactions, 1031 & 1033 Tax-Deferred Exchanges,
GSA Leased Investments.

If anyone has suggestions or their own business plan they can send over, that would be a big help.

Thanks everyone for your input. It looks like I have to get a hold of a few contractors now. I found a great deal and it lead to another great deal. Would you recommend wholesaling one?

Hey All,

Im looking to flip my first property in what I see as a niche market. My first question is: how do you know what holds value? Secondly, how do you estimate repairs precisely?
