I am trying to learn hands on skills so that I can buy properties that may need some TLC given how hot the market is here in Raleigh.

I am a realtor in Kissimmee Florida area trying to help a friend of mine get into rental arbitrage for Air BNB.

I could also Airbnb it as an eco house as I will make sure air quality is optimal and buy organic mattresses but I'm not sure if Hagerstown would be a potential vacation destination.

Market could be hot one week and cold the next just from the nature of the market which could swing your values a certain amount

even suburban submarkets are red hot right now in miami like leisure city, homestead, florida city you can still get infill lots one of the last few places in miami dade county right now. rezoning and variances you can do even better. if you are limited on capital ground up construction and land might be something to consider in miami in these submarkets.

She mentioned the market for resale properties is super-hot in Madison right now, and she suggested I check out a certain planned community nearby.   

We are sandwiched between well known hot spots and its an ideal location for someone who wants to explore the beach life or any of the down-town areas nearby (Los Angeles, Long Beach, Redondo, Manhattan, Southbay Etc), new build with modern amenities, washer/dryer in unit, full sized fridge, dishwasher, professional range cooktop, queen bedroom, full standing shower, large kitchen, full sized couch in the living room, private front patio. 

I, like many used to think “newbies” posted questions or asked for “help” to obtain the best advice from experienced investors, obtain guidance on strategic alternatives, or get a qualified opinion on whether the latest hot guru was worth the $40k price of admission.But, I was WRONG.No, none of those reasons are why newbies come to BP.They don’t want to find out that their “revelation” about how to invest has been tried about 10 million times - with limited successThey don’t want to learn that without capital, knowledge and experience their willingness to commit weekends is near uselessThey don’t want our opinion that they should skip trying to wholesale and spend some time learning as a licensed agentThey don’t want advice that has them taking classes at community colleges or learning real estate law, finance, or principles.So WHAT do they seek when they come to BPThey want comfort, encouragement. and to be told their thoughts are correct.
