I am just trying to narrow down my market right now.

I don't think they are necessarily a bad thing, but to prevent that, you'd want to write a very narrow set of Declarations for the HOA.

Talk to local property managers and narrow it down to the best deal.

I'm kind of thinking to go with option B and do a cash out refi which would get me almost all the money I put in out, to do something else with, but not as high as the $25K which I could use to buy another single-family house for cash.

I've narrowed my scope to wholesaling because this is my best option at this point.

In general, I would like to review B and C class properties; in good working-class neighborhoods (no high crime war zones).If you can help us find properties that fit this profile, that would be great.Please feel free to connect with me on BP.Thanks!

Raymond B. and Ann Bellamy are right on the words of caution ... and I would agree with Ann, J Scott's books are amazing and packed with solid, useable info.At the same time, if a speaker/guru can help give you a road map to follow and save you some time and trouble, I say go for it if the price is reasonable.

@ Robert RuizI am new at BP and planning to shift my career slowly from a typical employee to B and I opportunity that will definitely lead us to financial freedom in the future.And by reading the comments from this topic alone seems like I am so excited to start my new journey with my wife and kids ages 9 & 5, and I actually planning to by a monopoly and cashflow game for my kids after reading "Rich dad,Poor dad".

Realtors should be calling you, not the other way around IMO.You might narrow your mailings, say to those vacant homes or divorce filings and follow up with a call if you can.

A large lot in question.Specs:* About 4 acres* Zoned Multifamily/Apartments* Highly populated and desired area of the suburbs* Off major road, next to large apartment complex, Townhomes community* The road that takes to the lot is narrow (no through-traffic), and has a dead end.Given that the lot can be purchased (really) cheap, but there is no assistance from the seller and no land research experience on my part, what do I need to do for DD?
