The strengths and weakness idea is a good one and one I need to revisit.

If you study their pricing, strengths and weaknesses, you will know how to position yourself. 

I was so excited with the idea of asking questions I rushed into posting, and asked some really weak questions. lol on me.I am a newbie wholesaler and I have secured a local cash buyer in Massachusetts They purchase an average of 35 homes a year and can close in 7-10 days.I've identified all of their purchasing criteria. 

Not for the weak of heart, though:)

Looking for any information on how to determine in a particular town or area has a strong or weak demand for rentals

One of my strengths/weaknesses is my skepticism. 

This has not been my experience with most tenants.Most of the tenants have hard time taking care of themselves.The worst is when they try to breed them and walk around with chain leashes to feed their weak egos.I just wish these people would grow up.I am an animal lover but do not believe large dogs belong in apartment complexes.They need a house and a yard to expend the energy and not claw a place up trying to get out of a small space.

KC for weak job growth. 

Choose the strong and avoid the weak areas.

I worked construction during the summers growing up, so I am able to do much of the work myself with the exception of HVAC.After listening to many of the Podcasts it seems that networking is my biggest weakness and I have decided to start by joining this website and hopefully meet other investors, especially those currently dealing with the Atlanta area.I look forward to hearing and learning from you all!
