@Jason Eberhardt historically Memphis has been a popular market due to affordable prices and strong rent ratio's but personally, I think there are markets in the Midwest like Indianapolis and Kansas City which offer similar returns but with stronger economic and demographic fundamentals.

The basics are out there, I'd suggest familiarizing yourself with the fundamentals and then asking specific questions you can't find answers to.Here's a blog post to get you started...https://www.biggerpockets.com/renewsblog/2015/08/0...

I personally mainly invest and Trade in Auckland as this markets fundamentals set for success of Capital growth and Rent growth.Cash low in NZ is nowhere near what you can find in parts of the US.

I am reading the material here , and also some books and webinars from various places I don't want to be stuck in the learner's stage forever and already eager to find my first deal.MY questions is, what do you think is the absolutely  set  of fundamental  concepts and material that a beginner investor must know before he should leave the 'learning phase'thanks!

Fundamentally they are the same but have different mechanics.  

There was nothing fundamentally wrong with the housing market in Denver.

Or am I missing some fundamental differences?

Do you just calculate the fundamentals based on the loose and incomplete pro forma numbers provided in the listing?

They don't deserve a return if the property is fundamentally in the same state as it was.

Otherwise, I totally agree with you about the market and it's fundamentals, fo sho.
