Figuring out a niche takes time, repetition, and money. 

There is quite a bit of repetition as far as book recommendations go, however, every now and then a guest recommends something different!

And I also agree 1,000% with the indignation against the people who come in and think they're going to make easy money by screwing people over.I also understand that the repetition of constantly having to educate the newbies on the ethical way of doing business is annoying.

It's best to give the benefit of the doubt, but this is also a business and you need to protect your investment in the case that this type of behavior becomes repetitive. 

Apologies in advance if my posting is becoming repetitive, I'm just trying to maximize my time and resources while being here in Tennessee. 

@Gayle Melnick I had begun to get this feeling after conducting some repetitive searches on trulia, and "google earthing" the entire neighborhood.

@Ashley Budyak - Direct mail is all about repetition so you better be ready to spend some money or have a ton of time so you can print the letters and lick the stamps.If you are serious about doing some wholesaling let me know and we can connect on your plan and strategy.  

This is one of the trickiest parts of the business and I can recommend nothing more than these two books, written by a master flipper with lots of repetition and value to add:The Book on Flipping Houses by J ScottThe Book on Estimating Rehab Costs by J ScottDive into these and you’ll be on the short path to knowing this craft well.

The next one should take half that time.The whole thing is not hard, it just takes doing lots of repetitive work and doing it consistently.

I'm a new investor, currently living in the SF Bay Area, looking for opportunity in out-of-state Rental Properties Investment.Currently, our research have been narrowed down to 2 locations: Memphis and Rochester.Our research has led us to focus on SFH turnkey rental properties or properties that require minor cosmetic rehab, do enough repetitions with incremental expansion on rehab project size, and build our portfolio from there.
