This is probably a debatable topic, but I still subscribe to the old adage, location, location, location.Do not buy from large wholesalers.

I subscribe to different news updates and today one caught my eye, the Guild Mortgage 1% down payment conventional loan.

My experience is that they don't have real deals and their strategy is to shotgun "deals" to their extensive buyers list and subscribe to the greater fool theory.

@Julius Smith I was going to reply that it's not worth it because I subscribed a few years ago and found that I could get all of the info they have for free in other places. 

I think it only goes back so far though.There is private info on there (like how to access the property) that sellers wouldn't want available to the general public.NJ has various MLS's, so it can get costly to subscribe to them if you decide to get your license so you have access.

If you subscribe to the 1% guideline Naples will be VERY tough and even the cape is tough.

@Brian Hester if you are interested in Houston subscribe to my real estate newsletter (see signature).

I haven't subscribed yet myself, but plan to soon, as I get a lot of returned mail and would love to track down the owners.

It seems to me like something that a lot of landlords would subscribe to.

You may want to subscribe to that one.
