I've hear the Atlanta market is nearly saturated, so I've heavily considered starting with a turnkey property in Birmingham or elsewhere in Alabama, since I have some knowledge of the area.

Majority 9 out 10 homes are investor owners, this is a bit troubling as the market is simply over saturated, this does not mean this is a bad home, if managed well and you do your due diligence eon placing a tenant I think you will have someone of the long term, that can be a good ambassador of your home.

I have talked with a few investors and they all seem to say it's "Saturated" here (Long Island, N.Y).If I do it in europe, I would have less control, but will have family helping me.

Do you have any wealthy family or friends that have a big fat bank account that you could "borrow" their bank statement as proof of funds, then put it under contract and wholesale it?

Some of our towns may be similar in saturation, but one may be easier to compete in than another.

That would be a big fat NO in my opinion.You are going to entrust 1 million dollars of your money without even knowing if they are qualified to help you??

If I had $15k to throw at marketing and another $1000 a month, I could hire a few people, saturate my market and keep 100% of the deals”.

Do you know if Colorado is becoming pricey/saturated?

I'd like to invest out of state because the market I'm in is overpriced and saturated-San Jose CA.

Getting money back: fat chance, not worth the brain damageGetting a contract release: who cares, just carry on.
