@Ray Li - Do great in-depth research on a few markets and then start to assemble a team in that market.

I think in depth analysis is the cornerstone to good investment decision making.

@Jim Horton I guess I haven't really checked out Sacramento in depth.

You can  go with a conventional loan and skip the FHA headache here as well.Feel free to reach out if you want to go more in-depth.

If anything, the inclusion of these topics (in appropriate depth) on BP's website, books, and bootcamps makes them LESS dangerous because they become things that are studied, as opposed to just 4 minute clips on YouTube.For those who disagree, I am *genuinely* curious what advice you would give to this and many other informed - but still novice - investors who want to take action?  

So, let's get this thread back to the original OP question or let it die in the good old depths of the forums.

This is my contribution to the great BP community after attending the Clayton county sales in the past few months.Dan's post has an in-depth details on the GA tax sale.

I've been following the mill development fairly closely and was just out to the site last week (I went late and didn't have time to do anything other than grab some brochures and poke around) and will be checking the properties out more in depth later. 

But after Econ 101, there's more advanced econ classes where you explore issues more in depth.
