If you are out there pushing deals, focus on quality not quantity.

However, I do agree that in the beginning it is wise to focus but not so focused that I don’t see open doors.So if I were to pick something now, it would be to buying performing 1st lien notes.  

If you don't have a good one I'm happy to provide you a few names of real estate focused CPAs.  

My main focus is finding leads or deals.

Had a somewhat disappointing experience with a guru* and now I want to focus on learning commercial and multi-family without wasting money on coaches/gurus.

Hi Kanaam,To start, focus on financing—U.S. lenders may require higher down payments (often 25-35%) for foreign investors.

If you plan to sell it in the near future, I would focus more on the added value overall. 

I primarily will be focusing on the Dallas, Birmingham, and Atlanta markets but as I stated before I have partners who will also be on the grind and I'm more than happy and willing to fill in whatever missing piece to a puzzle that needs to be filled.

Also, focus on 2 years of job/income stability.Class D Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, all cashflow with little, maybe even negative, relative rent & value appreciationVacancy Est: 20%+ should be used to cover nonpayment, evictions & damages.Tenant Pool: majority will have FICO scores under 560 (almost 30% probability of default), little to no good tradelines, lots of collections & chargeoffs, recent evictions.
