@Judy Joy  thank you!

Hi @Judy Graff!

It's for bettors, not investors, in my mind.If you are a long-term buy and hold investor, then you want to be looking for stable markets with strong underlying fundamentals of population growth and job growth, and you want to be looking for strong cash flow with a built-in margin of safety for when the economy inevitably turns down and your vacancy goes up, so that you can still meet your debt service and not get foreclosed on.So many new investors see other people making money in a hot market and want to jump in too.  

Hello Experts,I read alot and tried to get into foreclosures(in my area in Iowa) but found that alot of time/work/money/risk involved for a little or sometime may be descent money (if you are lucky or can sell it on the prices you expected initially) ... but I am not sure all this work is worth for what you are getting..I am in in a process of planning future and deciding the best route for investment option, basic goal is to get a regular monthly return/income while i can keep working on my current full time job, i can invest in either buying a multifamily/apartment building having 25+ units or buy a hotel/motel or buy a land and construct a apartment building(not sure if constructing a building would be bettor of buy an existing one).My target area would be 1.

@Judy MitchellWelcome to the posting side of BP!!  

I go with a preponderance of evidence, just like Judge Judy :D - Vote to post ratio- Rough number of votes- Content of the post- My familiarity with the value of the poster's content- Whether the poster raised points I hadn't thought of before- Whether the poster's advice seems rational and reasonable- The type and length of experience of the poster- How the poster is held by other posters I respect- Whether or not the poster is selling anything/looking for business opportunities- Other (as applicable)I usually only look at profiles of either colleague requests or of people who I have become interested/intrigued in their posts.
