You might be concentrating the risk so that the note buyers are more exposed than normally.

Just like anything else in life something’s you can do your own and some you hire people or companies to do it for you no matter what line of business it is.You have to ask your self how much your time is worth if you do it your self versus hiring someone else do it for you, while you concentrate on what really matters to you so you can enjoy what’s most important in your life.

I wonder if I should start concentrating my efforts there instead?

Concentrate on putting your systems in place when it's slow going with closing deals.Happy Investing!

My bad, took me a sec to reply back.I'm concentrate on the urban core of Kansas City, but will invest anywhere in town in if the numbers make since.

I'd even be able to stop doing current income stuff like my rehabbing and wholesaling to concentrate just on building the portfolio.

What areas are you concentrating on?

Account Closed I think you asked this same question on the Aussie site... you may want to ask the question in a different manner.Would experienced US investors recommend someone from AU investing in 30k or under properties in big mid west towns and then trust PM to handle them for them while they live 6k miles from the properties.The running costs.. bad tenants , deferred maintenance etc etc will no doubt cut your cash flow projections severely.In my humble opinion since you live half way around the world you should concentrate on a small multi family or a premier SFR in a much better location than you will get as opposed in buying very low end basically ghetto properties.James sells some nice stuff in the 50 to 60k range,, you would be safer in those price ranges...People that make it work in 30k and under houses live in the market and its a personal hands on type of investment...

If you concentrate on growing your Roth inside your 401K, you may need a Roth IRA that is five years old or older.

We've decided to concentrate locally for now, but we will always keep an eye out for deals out of state but just in those areas where we have contacts and knowledge of the area.It's funny, my wife and I were joking last night as we recounted how we bought our Maui property sight unseen with absolutely no experience.
