"How its done" is touted most by people who aren't doing anything.

While searching Zillow or Trulia or the leads my Agent would send me I found that most multi-family homes were price for retail purchase but touting it as a “great investment”.

I have personally seen a national marketing company who sells TK properties in Birmingham touting props as A- when they ABSOLUTELY are C+, B- at best.

Key factors are major projects that have been approved by the city such as a 21.5 million dollar project in Tampa Heights, next to UT.

It looks like Kevin is touting his new company and offering calling it a "gold rush".

People will tout that as the tax advantage of real estate.

Can't hurt to do both, point being is don't be sold on realtor hype - but the local realtors no doub thave great knowledge.Perhaps do it in the reverse order so that you have more petinent local questions to ask the realtor on the bus tour.Local REIA is a good suggestion as well.If by emerging you mean not in your traditional big metro hubs and areas that are growing in jobs and population, I tend to think and hear alot about Missouri, Colorado, Alabama, the Carolinas, and of course Texas (but when so many people are touting texas it makes me wonder if prices may be a bit inflated - perhaps it's just BPers that are privvy to the "Texas Train")Nothing like bringing life to an old thread..

Hey Guys, I just signed up for Wholesale University that Than Merrill and Preston Ely have been touting all over the internet.

It is not at all uncommon for sellers to tout the fact they have "long term" tenants.

Neither....WWEI.Leh and Wamu werent penny stocks when I got the check.I just took a complete gamble with WWEI.The only think it had going for it was its a wind company and Pickens announced his plan interest spiked and took it to .20.Though I believe its a scam company because they have been touting a PPA for a windfield and keep pushing the dates out.I wouldn't invest in the company.
