I would caution you on the two big companies I have funded a few folks that bought through them and they have all been poor properties for too much money..I can't think of a risker thing to do than out of state flipping for the smaller investor. you need to have someone on the ground that you know VERY well and trust.. and you are going to have a hard time finding that person on the internet or reading a book on how to do it.. theories are great .. reality is way different..

My suggestion is though to stick to one field of concentration until you're well versed in it.

Concentrate on your degree and your career.

Internet AvailabilityHigh speed internet is available throughout most of Germany and Europe in General.

I understand the market is pretty competitive around here but we are optimistic we can find a niche and make this successful.I had my RE license years ago (before the internet!)

Am I better off concentrating on looking for my first purchase in Delaware due to affordability, or should I save more funds first to be able to afford a more expensive purchase in southeast PA?

Nitrous Oxide can kill you be means of suffocation if the concentration is high enough.  

That should help the price of your dirt increase over time.For tenants, I like to look for things like services, restaurants or entertainment that are more 'internet resistant'.

An internet-connected device would be ideal, so I could monitor remotely. 

We want to concentrate on wholesaling initially, and eventually would like to go into rehabbing and buy and holds.
