i found that when I stopped worrying about others and concentrated on myself I became much happier and successful.

Concentrate on income production.It is recommended that you have a website that gets you more leads/customers and has links on other sites.  

Do not purchase SFHs, concentrate on multi plex properties.I would also sell the personal residence and move into one of the detached SFHs (#3) for the next few years.

I'd rather invest in a concentrated area in Michigan.

Also, I have been a Licensed P&C agent since 2009 and just obtained my MBA concentrating in finance.

This is my concentration as a beginner.Thank you.Tina

Second, I just want to concentrate on finding great deals, and financing them.  

My primary experience in Ohio is in zip 45403 and zip 45405 with all my property concentrated in one small area that I have come to know very well.I see investors from out of state come into Dayton and spend $30,000 on properties that should sell for well under that but because the market they are use to is much higher they believe they are getting a buy.The 2% rule works well in much of the Ohio Cities because investors need to be compensated for the risk of investing their capital in these areas.Best of luck, I look forward to hearing about your success in Clevland

I'm focusing primarily on Condos in my new market, but also have a good handle on SFH's in a concentrated section of neighborhoods (about 2 miles x 2 miles).

There's a lot of ways to get involved or areas to concentrate in the industry which is definitely the most exciting part about it.
