I am close enough to actually do it myself but I wanted to concentrate my efforts more on expanding my business rather than simply taking calls to fix locks and collect rent etc....

You might want to concentrate on certain neighborhoods as 3 cities in that area is pretty vast.

I would suggest that you not concentrate on the properties but look for motivated sellers first.Good Luck.Bill

That's exactly what I'm doing but down here I've noticed that most if not all are in a concentrated area.

The profits from flips will allow me to purchase more buy and hold properties.Ultimately, once I have enough passive income to quit my JOB I can concentrate 100% on Real Estate and expand faster.I hope this helps give you some ideas.Good luck and you are welcome to contact me with any questions you would like.

Since you have your edu and a solid job lined up, concentrate on fitness/wellness... make it your first priority.The rest will come as you find your way along the journey... and remember it's the journey that's the fun part.

I plan to concentrate on the Mansfield/North Attleboro/ and surrounding towns.

Im concentrating on wholesaling, subject to/lease options.

If you're somewhat familiar with basic contract law, never met a stranger, have been in financial negotiations before, have decent math skills, have good communication skills you can get the basics in a couple weeks of intense, concentrated study.

That's why it's almost impossible to wholesale off of the MLS.So I wouldn't concentrate on how to structure an MLS deal, I'd concentrate on how to find motivated sellers and off-market deals.
