@Omar Khan I'm not sure if I was misleading in my last post but I want to make it abundantly clear that I am NOT in any way looking for a "secret strategy" or a "free lunch".  

Like @Iden Nazario said, renting out a property in South Florida is very easy...There are tons of underwater mortgages here, so there is an abundance of short sales.

I've actually started achieving those goals we set out to accomplish 7yrs ago.What makes it different from this forum, is that it is a COMMUNITY of go-givers who actively help each other, and who have growth and abundance mindsets.

I'll make sure I visit these sight.God bless you abundantly.

Here's to abundant deals in your future!

All hardwood floors, newly tiled kitchen with abundance of natural light with several skylights, wood cabinets and stone countertops with new backsplash.

However, SFH are abundant where I am located. 

It's true there's abundant real estate across the US, and to your second point, Geographic arbitrage is a very real thing for both the investor and individual. that wouldn't be such a driving force in Austin, Denver, etc if it weren't for the heavy-handedness of San Francisco, Los angeles, Etc. 

Experienced investors aren't so easily misled as novice investors, and BP has an abundance of experienced investors who are prepared to challenge any misstatements and junk that get posted in the forums.The idea to only bid on what others have bid on is just plain wrong, and can be deadly.

There are also abundant opportunities for small multi family and SFH.
