Like you said, @Jay Hinrichs, there's a lot of low value properties in certain areas here, specifically Milwaukee county, but the suburban areas could be a gold mine for an agent, and I know several that do very well.And these are both cash strategies for me, where my money will go as soon as I'm making it is into rental properties, and I currently have different savings categories, with one being the down payment for a first property (assuming I don't find a convenient sub2 or seller finance before that).Thanks again everyone, and happy investing!

If you've read the book "Think & Grow Rich" by Napoleon Hill, think about the "3 feet from gold" story he references.  

If yes, you are welcome to choose one of the colors I matched up to colors used in brand new houses in my area....or use the colors as a spring board so as not to go too dark/light gold/gray.  

Get to the podcasts man; they're definitely gold for anything you want to learn about.

Same thing with other hard assets like Gold, paintings, antique cars, jewels etc.

Buy and hold will bring home the gold.

The podcasts are gold.

Just as @Sandra Lei M.and @Mathias Bekele have recommended, start with UBG and go through every last one of the podcast whenever you are in the car, at night or before class because this my friend is GOLD.

Door knocking is good too ( time consuming i recommend doing this with properties you really want and know could be a gold mine). 

Jazmin, welcome aboard.The BP podcasts are a gold mine of information.Connect with me anytime.
