I'd concentrate real hard on establishing  a long distance management system for your two rentals and only then would I look to buy a third property.   

I would try to concentrate and learn one type of investing.

It looks fine to me, concentrate on the rest of the transaction.

You need to look for high concentration of government/military workers.  

DonI live in Anne Arundle county and plan to concentrate in that area to start out but I'll do deals in all of Maryland and hope to soon start doing deals in North /South Carolina.

Realtors have got to be the most concentrated group where among the productive good ones you are just bound to bump into a few divas who take the whole damn thing personally.

@Brian GeraceI think you're referring to a pure GV with your friend and not a syndication, so I'll concentrate on GV.

I'll try to answer the questions you've raised:Dick -- We're interested in the lending aspect because we have access to a fair amount of cash, and earning 16% is pretty tempting.Brendan -- Considering how new we are to all of this, we're in no way qualified to say how the deals are looking in our area :lol: But, in the REOs we're concentrating on, there seems to be lots of potential.

Think of the benefits, no loan limits, no concentration of loans, no limitations of how many loans I can have, well, just no limitations!

Hi guys, I'm looking to expand my rental portfolio (currently have 1 rental) and am wondering, is it better to diversify across regions in the US, or concentrate on 1 area?
