I am currently awaiting to take a course in real estate fundamentals.

This course provides all the creative marketing, creative financing, and cash flow fundamentals that real estate investors use to buy houses and commercial property.

It's getting pretty tough to find good cash flowing properties because it's a seller's market there right now but if you find a good deal it's a market that has solid fundamentals for the future.

It describes in detail the fundamental drivers of the real estate cycle in any market, how they change with different stages of the cycle, and how you as a strategic real estate investor should track them in your market(s) so that you can make strategic investment decisions based on what is happening.

The economic and growth fundamentals are strong and I know my niche here far better than any other areas.

These fundamentals along with your goals can help you identify markets to target.
