If I could ever be of some help in the process or want to discuss specific areas of town and investment analysis, please reach out!

Some specific questions I have:1.

Hi Linda,Lots of great advice from @Carla Gordon @Brian Schroeder @Jay Thomas Specifically I think it's always smart to check out FF Traveler sear https://www.furnishedfinder.com/housing/New-York/New-York) and Airbnb/VRBO for 30+ days stays to gauge what sort of similar properties are currently out there!

While I'm thinking about it, there used to be a specific meetup in Greenville called the Greenville Equity Marketing Exchange or something like that.

It specifically says it is not for real estate investment, but I believe you would be buying an operating business vs just real estate.This is so helpful Michael, thanks so much!  

Tell us what you really think of the opportunity and ask more specific questions.

Focus on a specialty/niche whether waterfront, multifamily, vacation props or even just a specific neighborhood to be THE expert.

To be more specific about what i'm looking to do: My 1-2 year goal is to employ the BRRRR strategy with SFHs and Condos by buying distressed / highly undervalued properties that need work (preferably all-cash) in low crime areas with strong rental demand, renovate them within budget (again preferably all-cash) and get them rent ready before refinancing them at the highest ARV possible.

In our case, we are focused on Northern Virginia (specifically Alexandria, VA).

I am on the board of CFRI, the local chapter for the National REIA and we have about 20 meetings a month, many geared towards specific niches.
