I used to work in radio in the #6 market (San Francisco) and the #40 market (Las Vegas). 

A friend of mine showed me this website and I've been obsessively listening to the podcasts and lurking the forum for a couple weeks now.I'm from the west in the US, mainly Phoenix and Las Vegas, but have lived in a suburb of Madison, WI for the last 6 years.My wife and I have no debt, good credit, a little wiggle room each month, a few thousand cash, a few more thousand open credit cards, and a will to learn with a drive to succeed.I'm planning on attending the August 8th meeting at the Madison REIA and have reached out to a Real Estate agent and Lender in my area in an attempt to start building a network in this community.I'm a veteran of the 82nd airborne with a strong work ethic, and I played poker full-time in Las Vegas for a few years.

I wanted 12 -18% cap rates (interest rates were MUCH higher), and real estate I could buy for 25% + below REAL value.Immediately after the crash of 2008 I sought properties in the most devastated areas (Phoenix, Miami, Las Vegas) that were (1) class A (2) one third previous sale price (3) 8-10 cap rate on residential.Now I look at properties with a steady cash flow (depending on risk and property type), have rents that are short term adjustable in case of high inflation and have a potential equity "kicker", such as neighborhood being developed, restrictive zoning, university expansion, etc.I now divide my portfolio in three areas, not always mutually exclusive.  1- short term mortgage notes or long term mortgage notes purchased at large discounts (secured by commercial properties) for cash flow.  

I attended my first REI Meeting last week in Las Cruces and met some great folks. 

I am an active wholesaler here in Las Vegas.
