That way whenever you do find a deal you'll already have a list of buyers that are ready to buy and get a deal done. 

Start small with duplexes or triplexes, analyze deals carefully, and build a team of local experts.

I am thinking of Enrolling in the first deal program with Brandon Turner.

I currently own 10 doors, and always looking for more, when the deal makes sense.  

I'm a local real estate agent and would love to help you out on making this deal work.

Congratulations on your park deal!

I focus almost 100% on my pad ready land cost to come up with profitable deals. 20% of gross development value is the most I will pay for land.

Toby - getting your license for self representation of you're planning on doing a lot of deals is a good option.1) You have to hang your license with a broker unless you have a brokers license.

Since you're open to markets beyond NYC, you might want to connect with local investor meetups or REI groups in those areas to build relationships with agents, wholesalers, and lenders who understand the nuances of each market.If you're looking to break out of analysis paralysis, maybe start by narrowing down one or two target markets and running numbers on actual deals.
