What markets are you currently looking into? 

It's an old metric that many do not use in today's markets.

A sellers market in general.

Hey All, I’ve found an off market duplex in need of some repair (estimate unknown as I haven’t been inside yet).

Just like if you were doing a marketing campaign for any other business type, you have a lead list and now you have to work it and see what you can sell.Yes, its a lot of manual work.

This is not yoursituation, but just to walk through the different thought processesin Holding/Selling that a friend of mine is going through.Helped my friend getinto the Self Storage business and walked him through the wholeprocess from evaluating the market, selecting a site, developing thesite, systems, financing, insurance, etc.

What markets + strategies are you thinking of pursuing?
