The area that I've been concentrating on is the area around Condor Park just south of the BUS 190, which looks like the line dividing the city, or I could be right above it, I'm not sure.

I got a Finance degree from UTSA ('91)with a concentration in real estate, I worked for a property manager through college.

I have 10 in a concentrated area, that I think I am going to turn over to her. 

The 1031X gets rid of all your Vallejo exposure at that price, selling the house and keeping the lot as a kicker gives you some speculative upside if Vallejo keeps going, and the cash-out option gives leveraged exposure to Vallejo, the most concentrated bet on the area.

I don't currently have an SFR's as I am really concentrating on mutli-family but I do keep up with the rental market of SFR's in reviewing the multi's. 

Honestly, at this time I would concentrate on building my credit.

There is so much going on with towns like we are in if you are willing to look and have the eye for it because what I know with Rome is that it is such a huge concentration of medical specialists.It definitely would be a great market to do student rentals in especially with Shorter and Berry being that close to each other. 

Even within our neighborhoods, the violence is concentrated to certain areas/blocks of certain bad neighborhoods.

.- Concentration advantage of MFH is that geographically your units are concentrated.

@Jarid Johnson It's hard to tell from your post whether you want to concentrate on flips first or buy&hold.
