Yes, this takes some unpaid work on the front end but I enjoy the process of helping a new investor narrow down their criteria and hone in on what they really want.

Then do what you’re talking about and layer in the qualities in an area that will attract those younger people you’re looking for to narrow down to neighborhoods.Are you willing to be in Multnomah county/Portland proper/Milwaukie or focusing on Washington and Clackamas county?

You should narrow your focus and seek out investors willing to help in those areas.Good Investing...

We eventually stuck with our "familar" areas for our first investment, but I still believe Ogden is a great place to look as prices are still lower, but appreciation is sure to rise with the other Wasatch Front areas.If you're looking to do long-distance, it wouldn't hurt to reach out to Reeder or another PM group as they were very helpful in pointing us towards the "good" neighborhoods to narrow our search.Good luck with your real estate ventures!

Maybe even nail down an investing strategy that you can see yourself getting into to narrow down the people youll want to network with, and just keep learning.

Depending on how quickly you are able to get homes into the park, this may be a bit narrow.

Also make sure you that you narrow down what you want to do. 

I just recently decided on Columbus after considering a number of different areas, so I haven't narrowed things down yet.

@Joseph Miller your fears may be well founded or totally unfounded, the only way to know is to pick one, just one possible investment, bounce it off a more experienced investor and if its great, go ahead, if its a no-go, then no-go, search for the next and repeat...hard to leave the analysis paralysis phase if you have not narrowed it down to earth- to an actual possible investment property.

Hey @Derrick GordonFirst, you'll want to narrow in on what kind of attorney you're looking for - an evictions attorney or a general real estate attorney?
