I've been listening to the podcast and have listened to Brandon's Book on Rental Property Investing and I have chosen Atlanta as my next market to invest in rental property.

In the words of Hyman Roth, though, "This is the business we have chosen."

I have chosen to live and invest in the Lehigh valley area.

As luck would have it, I am working a seller financing deal with @Morgan Nilsen, another Dubai-based investor whom has chosen to work with our group in Indianapolis.

I've chosen not to invest in the DC area, despite living here now (I actually grew up in Springfield) .

I have not chosen one town to buy in still trying to center it down to two towns and as soon as I find a great agent I will eventually be more decisive in my decision. 

The current stragety we have chosen is to buy and hold multifamily and single family properties and rent them out. 

Make sure that this persons success is related to the type of investing that you have chosen.

You will need to learn the local answers to your questions about this potentially dangerous area.With my last purchase on the courthouse steps my attorney told me someone could've filed a lien on the property AN HOUR before it closed and I would've been left holding that bag.In another example, around here a tax sale wipes out all previous liens EXCEPT for the IRS which has 6 months to show up and surprise you.Point being it's more or less different with each locality, and each entity doing the selling.YOU must become the expert in this area, just like you previously became an expert as a LL.Find a local attorney who specializes in RE, pay him his hourly fee and sit down to learn the ins and outs of your new chosen niche.

I've chosen to walk away.
