The Midwest is my pick.Especially Ohio and Michigan.Still lots of value here.With the media pimping "high unemployment" and "declining population" most institutional investors are still sleeping which is good for us smaller operators as we get to pick and choose.I feel like a kid in candy store lol.Just bought one for $25,000 that needs $20,000 in work and will sell for $100,000+Happy Days :)

Some of the less expensive (<$500) ways to start marketing: Website, bandit signs, hand-written yellow letters, postcards, door hangers, business cards (that I hand out like candy), fliers...I'm getting started on a shoestring myself and, if you take out the $1000 direct-mail campaign I'm doing, I've spent less than $500 and have had half a dozen leads and one potential deal on the cooker.

There is so much information on this site, I feel like a kid in a candy store.

That's more like green space, surely you can put up with the commotions on just one night a year, just have plenty of candy on hand!

I feel like a kid in a candy store daily.

The portfolio loans for me keep my buying capacity going until I refinanced them into a commercial loan cross collateralizing the assets.Once you get in with a new portfolio lender and they crack the door for you... treat them like your wife, buying them candy and being very responsive.Frank

High" unemployment and "Declining" populations are keeping the hedge funds and mum and dad investors on the sidelines.I am sure most Ohio investors would feel like kids in a candy store snapping up all of these awesome deals ;)Thanks and see you around the forum.Have a great day.

With money and stimulus being printed and sent out like it’s candy.. does anyone have any insight or guesses on how the coming inflation will affect real estate debt, land value and general buying power??

Increased paydown on the 25 year am offsets the gain by the 30 year fixed kinda like sex OR candy (see what I did there?
