Now is it easy, absolutely not, I spend countless hours, weeks, months and years analyzing micro-markets, watching data, scouting, all to ve able to jump into markets of opportunity when it strikes.

Before you all strike me down for 'if it's too good to be true, then it likely is' commentary, please note that:I see a mix of both negative and positive reviews for them across the board, and some folks have undoubtedly have had good experience. 

Being new to RE investing myself and having graduated in Econ only three years ago, the grind and goal you describe strikes close to home.

Examples:  my Brazil investment, there was a labor strike that lasted over one year, the building just sat there; my local real estate agent that got me in the game moved to the UK; the developer only communicated to investors in Portuguese and not very often even though many of the investors were intl folks.  

But if you do enough volume, you could just move house to house. yeah, different cities charge different rates to dump. i pay $350 for 30 yards and 400 for 40 yards. up to 7 tons, i think. but i always put more.call your dump sites and get the names of the most active accounts. then call them and strike a deal.

Sorry to not have better news, but stick with the numbers, be patient and have cash ready to deploy and strike when the iron is hot, so to speak

Hi all, I recently became extremely interested in real estate investing after I happened to randomly strike up a conversation with one.

We have family there and I only know it from visiting; does not strike me as a cash flow market, too much wealth floating around in a relatively small community.

5-7% doesn't strike me as that bad of a discount.

Assuming you could find a lender to make things work at 15% down, I think your PITI is fairly accurate around $3,200 however at that point you wont be cash flowing (or maybe even losing money) and it seems like you will be banking on appreciation which strikes me as very risky.So how do you get this deal done?
