Very quickly the major markets & players in those markets will become clear to you as we frequent these pages often.As for the concept of buying out of state remember that It's not really that complicated to buy out of state.

There are some big players in the room and normally each meeting is packed with great information. 

I am not a big player by any means.. but in Oregon I did my banks first horizontal loan since 06 they had a moratorium on doing them.. and so i was proud to be their first even at that i had to have 50% cash equity into the deal.. but I did get bank rate 1 and 6.

Osceola county is uniquely set up for short-term rentals and there are literally hundreds of resorts, with more than 500 homes each, in many of these resorts.

As you can see from the example, whether purchasing a new, cheap vehicle to be used for personal purposes or resorting to using your work truck for personal purposes really depends on (A) the cost of your work truck and the corresponding Section 179 deduction; (B) your expected top marginal rate for the year; and (C) the cost of the personal vehicle you would but in the case you do not use your work truck for personal purposes.

I noticed that a lot of the bigger players in the market, hedge funds had begun offering 30-year fixed rate debt to investors.

I am willing to offer cash for keys as a last resort but I'd rather get them out by advising them that this will be a costly decision on their behalf and that moving out would be the best option for them.

You'll quickly see who the bigger players are in that space & they should probably be able to help you build that portfolio.

My takeaway was that if it seems too easy, the payback is too quick, a person rockstars from nothing to a major player in no time, yeah, you oughtta be suspicious.

My recommendation for people starting out is to go to local REIA meetings, find out who the players are and ask if you can shadow them / work for free to learn.
