My name is Katrise, I am a real estate investor currently in the Baltimore MD area, I focus on Short Sales, Wholesaling and other profitable facets of real estate, I also help other like minded investors get educated on the many different ways so utilize this "bad market" in order to make them the most profit.

Internal rates of return are vital calculations in determining to move forward or walk away from an investment opp.Cap rates are not usless, but there are just one of many calculations needed to making a decision on an investment.This line is the best:"Don't listen to all the hyperbole here about what you "can't" do or what investors "never" do....you are an individual....and it's what YOU do that matters."

I'm involved in all facets of real estate, from residential, land and commercial brokerage, to real estate land development, new home construction, the occasional renovation and enjoy real estate investing of all sorts, primarily buy and hold large land tracts.

From there, you can watch foreclosures, particular homes even neighborhood vitals. 2.)

Or is gaining this type of vital info a function of the strength of your personal network and just hitting the streets for the pulse of the market?

I'm very interested in landlord opportunities but want to know all facets of the industry.

Rarely does a fund manager who studies every facet of the market beat the bell weather indexes so why would any one beleive that you will. eduacation, control and balls to take calculated risks is how you become wealthy. nuff said. good luck
