I’m looking to start this in Nashville or surrounding areas.

Hi all,I would like to connect with a real estate agent/newbie-friendly investor from Florida that can give me some advice on investing in or near West Palm beach or any of the surrounding areas, 30-45 Mins to West Palm. 

Here are some and considerationsTo select the neighborhood that best suits your requirements and tastes, investigate the individual neighborhoods within each area.If you currently have children or want to have children in the future, research school districts.Because traffic and transportation infrastructure might differ, take into consideration your preferred method of transportation.It might be beneficial to visit each location, look about communities, and get a sense of the neighborhood before making a selection.

There are about 3 new unrelated facilities being built within a 3 to 10 mile radius.Some other factors that I would think should be considered, but please correct me if I am wrong, would be:- Job growth: Over next ten years our city is predicted to be 49.4%, which is higher than the US avg of 33.5%- City & Surrounding Area Expansion: 22% year over year housing increase (the capital which is Boise saw only 10%)- High Visibility - from the freeway since it's up against it and at an exit. - Traffic Count: 15k daily on main road near property and 190k daily on freeway just in front of property.- The city (5min away) redevelopment with new theatre, city walk, shops, outdoor skating, and more family friendly updates.- REIT's have purchased several facilities in the Boise metro (surrounding cities) area and are building (I wonder why??)

Once you get a little experience and have learned a few things from using tenant cloud, etc... it may be easier to screen without paying extra fees, but that's just me, I like infrastructure when I'm new at something.  

Pay-to-play is somewhat true because when you join a good coaching program, which is an active community, and surround yourself with fellow investors who are actively looking for deals, opportunities will naturally cross your desk.

Hi Loretta C.I would like to learn more about ALF if you know anyone in the Philadelphia and surrounding counties area.

Short term deals don't really exist here as they are illegal in the surrounding area for the most part. 

They may be able to finance you at a low down payment if you have experience, reserves, and FICO as long as the 65% of the value can support the entire purchase price  I wasn't saying 0 down, but the concept of full return of capital. 15% land purchase cash. in columbus land is let's say 50k we build a triplex for 350k which is very close to 15%. small entitlements, reserves required, etc whatever lender asks for. multifamily sells for 200k per door in our market over 4 units, we are pushing the values up. first ones we are working on because of rezoning, etc but it's a full refinance on 6 month seasoning and do it again. that's the scenario that I was outlining. we do it in the urban core of Columbus where new construction trades at $325 a square foot or more for higher rents and higher equity. we could still put more units per parcel in columbus. these are all infill I hate Lehigh acres. overbuilt, no infrastructure, no commercial drivers or asset.

The retail is booming, the only downside IMO, is the infrastructure.
