So - somewhere 2 hours away, or somewhere you like to vacation in, or where all your family lives, or where you plan to move someday.Too many people are trying to do exactly what you're doing - pick a market based on a formula - and they end up buying a random 'cheap' property thousands of miles away, turn it over to people they've never met or even spoken to, and then... lose money.  

It’s a good market, numbers work well, and most important, find the right people. 

A lot of people haven't even heard of it.

When you have a proven track record of performance, then you can play with other people's money. 

Many of the people that come are members of Lifestyles Unlimited so they sometimes talk about upcoming events for members only, but the meeting is open to everyone and they share some excellent information.
