Elliott - why don't you work thus challenge "forwards" by learning how mortgages are foreclosed on in the market(s) that you wish to buy in before tackling lists.

Agree on your percentage comment as well...just haven't had the opportunity to tackle any bigger ones yet.

I was looking for my first flip project and figured I didn't have the skills yet to tackle that one. 

Know your numbers and have the confidence to strike knowing you'll need to tackle challenges as you move forward.

I feel I am delegating my jobs out well but it's not meeting my goal.I do the bookkeeping through Quickbooks which is another thing that I am currently tackling, the finances.

the Orlando market is definitely one I'm interested in tackling once I get a some experience under my belt, I know the market near me best so I figure its best to start here.

We tackle it from the front end, and recommend that investors have a cash reserve in place before they make the investment.

I love to see people from the Philly area joining (Almost everyday now it seems).I'm no expert but I'll try to tackle your questions as best as I can.1) I don't think the area should dictate your strategy or financing options.

If the opportunity presents itself through friends and/or family, we will definitely tackle it. 

I would suggest looking up the times and places on the Utah REIA and SLREIA's websites and going to those to figure out which niche you want to tackle.
