I am not trying to be controversial or pose an attack in any means, I am just saying, if you build a good team around you and you do your due diligence you can find a means of investing in any part of the country if you ave the financial means to do so and can capture the deal.Happy Investing!

Do whatever you can to minimize the risk.In order to follow this strategy, I would recommend a three-tiered plan of attack: lots, rentals, and expandable houses.

The realtors are trying hard to see to it that you do :)Wholesaling activities are very much under attack in many States, as is evident from many threads on BP.

bump....Would a portfolio lender be a better plan of attack in this situation?

Get a larger cushion, then attack the house-hack as a business problem, not a personal income one.My $0.02.

With the structural report you will have something tangible to attack the seller with.Frank

There was and even to this point still isn't, a plan of attack on disposition.  

@Wolfgang Schlosser You locate deals by direct mail marketing, door knocking, driving for dollars or just by attacking niches like pre-foreclosure, evictions and so on.

The PM either did or did not make a good pricing decision and the balance between the inevitable loss of business higher profit will tell him which it is and market prices will adjust accordingly.However, taking to a public forum and attacking the character, integrity and honesty of a business owner solely because you don't like their prices is childish and counterproductive.

Well Im a little new, so I havent planned my attack yet but I do currently have 1 rental I picked up in kensington for almost nothing.
