Feeling my way through this, I have an interest mult family buildings down the road but for now i wish to buy and sell, hold some that are worth holding.I need to refer to something that will help me put things in perspective, any suggestions to any online resource that serves as a guide for those that are trying to put together a real estate investing plan, a guide that will help me ask myself questions that I should be asking myself and about market conditions, etcccI believe and could be wrong, but based on market conditions I should be looking at what is hot right now and make decisions based on this that would help me achieve my buy and flip goals to accumulate capital for further investing into multifamily properties in new york or tristate area of nyc.Can you give an example of 1 or 2 business models that short sales or reos would be inline with ones business model.I take a position of humility here, although involved in another aspect of real estate which was mortgages and private money, this is whole different animal and new terrain I am exploring and being careful I am not eaten by the lions in the jungle to quickly before I start crawling...So my position is ..be humble and open to those whom have already experience in this investing, so I guess to put it bluntly not sure about this business model thing and how to go about ensuring I do the right things to put one together that makes sense for my area of nyc, this is a different jungle and not sure how this it really differ from other investors located in other jungles around the county...unsure about this as well.....

I ended up putting floating hardwood panels instead of carpet and vowed never to have carpet in my home after that experience.Outside in the backyard, it was a jungle with debris, leftover lumber/wood/scrub, and grass two feet high.

Some people succeed and some fail; this is the "Law of the Jungle" and I know perseverance and enough desire can overcome any obstacles.

The supplementary website is a MUST bc craigslist is a jungle and you need the distinction.

Rent jungle shows average rent in Seattle has gone up almost $900 since 2011.  

A year later I flipped that house and used the profits as 25% down on my dream home, an oceanview pole house on 1.5 acres in the jungle. 

(I should make a post about  how we jungle people catch fish with out buttcheeks, but I am not going to share ALL my secrets here .. come now!)

skunks spray around  here in socal practically all the time like its the mexican jungle or something, even though the coast is barely a mile or 2 away!

"Drop rent off when you feel like it".Oh yeah - to get a county lein on the property because they didn't do anything when asked and said "yeah, no problems, we'll sort it", as the yard was doing an impression of a jungle.
