This is probably the zip code with the highest concentration of rougher areas in Rochester.  

Karen, same Reatytrak report.According to research by professor Albert Saiz, at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, cities where high concentrations of Hispanic immigrants have moved have experienced faster housing price and rent appreciation.

Don't get greedy, if you have the money, follow more of a management path, do ten deals a year for half the money, you'll do better than doing three trying to do more or everything.Your dad probably has a head for numbers, you concentrate on keeping the money safe he can see if things pencils out.

I would not concentrate my capital in any one price level flip either.

I want to concentrate in the gold mine area of foreclosures.Have I rambled too long?

This is how you find deals at 30% or more discounts from "market price".Now about which segment of the market to concentrate in:If you had $200K to invest you could buy (4) $50K houses, (2) $100K houses, or (1) $200K houses.

That way you can concentrate your energy on the inside.

I certainly wouldn't call these investors dumb because they are buying in markets with little or no cash flow because they are concentrating on upside from appreciation.

Definately do both, however, but I would suggest concentrating the greatest majority of your time finding deals...

DH works in another industry which allows me to concentrate on the rehabbing stuff.
