I agree with Will, there is a big value of meeting people in person and networking with the real players in your market.

In the last 3 months however, I have decided to take another plunge into the world of REI and this time with the help of a small team I established we are planning to seriously establish ourselves as major players in the tristate area.

Who are the players in real estate?

Now I just market to 5.Didnt know they would be the players from the beginning, so I'd say find as many people as you can.

It is from this essential player, not online general skims, that the structure of the business is guided.I'm not judging simply observing that you may want to invest not dollars, but sweat equity at this point.

Except for a few large players that scan the arena nationwide, it is a real time consuming experience, as most liens are quite small and due diligence takes alot of time.

Using systems, having good business sense and being a TEAM player are all good things to have in a partner.

I don't look at Miami, but Broward and PB county foreclosure auctions have too many players, trying to put money to work.

Most people think, stock market = stock picking which is stupid IMO.There is a reason why the all of the biggest players (even in RE) gravitate towards the stock market, in one shape or form. 

Like being a good black jack player.
