Good rule of thumb is when a Chevrolet Spark is more expensive then the home you are buying, it is a red flag.Lastly, all that being said, just so that I don't sound completely like Debbie Downer, you can make money in those areas with an Ninja Property Manager and luck.

Your questions may spark an idea in a mentor's mind so keep asking.Keep an open mind when you go to these meetups. 

Personally, my interest was sparked in real estate after purchasing my own home.

I have to say, it's very interesting and has sparked my interest quite a bit.

Hi All,I’m a new investor from the Bay Area and interested in the Reno/ Sparks area due to the expected growth.

Fumes after lacquering something are around for a good time so a simple spark could help set a blaze.It would be pretty hard to prove negligence unless there is direct evidence.

If they are real players and your active you will run into them down the road and have another shot.I keep a 3x5 card index of buyer list rejects that I follow up on in the future and many times turn them into bird dogs or re-spark their investing bug. if they are not currently active investors.

But, lately the spark hasnt been there. actually been looking at starting a business online. thats why i was checking to see what everyone else is into.
