There is a scarcity of these properties in our market, middle class buyers are looking for something nice and fixed up, perhaps a starter home or maybe something they can raise their kids in, but most of what there is in our county is McMansions (>400K) and old falling down farmhouses (<200K).

I agree with Will in that I know many investors that loaded up on houses years ago at the bottom and now have great equity growth.The equity growth on single family starter houses will not be as good with the market rising today.

My main objective at this point is to network with as many like-minded, motivated, self-starters in all walks of this industry. 

That would be for starters.

, it's a great read for starters found under the "Learn" tab.Good luck .

For starters I suggest doing some reading here and else where on yellow letter marketing campaigns.

I've decided to focus on the niche of buying rental properties, be it starter single family homes as they are the most liquid/consistent type of real estate investment (2-3 bedrooms) and multi-family (greater risk/volatility and potential for profit) rental properties to build cash-flow.First Year Plan (2015)I have two scenarios in mind:A.

Its a great starter home built in 2017.

Really was able to see the value of OPM in that it allowed me to get the deal for starters, it also amplified my returns as I was able to invest in other places alongside this one.

@Nate CrumpI suggest you read the SAFE Act, for starters, see what constitutes lending and brokerage activities, it's federal law.
