First and foremost you need to figure out a game plan and decide what you want.

I know that this is a long term game and not a get rich quick but a lot of people I have met so far are just selling, get rich quick and out. 

As long as there's enough time to complete the transaction then you're in the game if they wish to sell to you. 

WHEN I do get this, the game is on.

Assuming time is your most valuable resource, I would say skip the residential game and buy an aged LLC, LLC business or start a LLC, and prepare to do a multi/office/retail deal in commercial real estate.

I am new to the game and am trying insure that I am able to accurately calculate ARV's.

Welcome back to the game @Isaac Norris.

These resorts have amenities guests love, pools, spas, clubhouses, water slides, mini movie theaters, tiki bars, tennis, beach volleyball, basketball, games arcades, playgrounds and some even have restaurants.

., but SFRs are an excellent investment in up and coming areas like North Winton, or established blue collar suburbs line E. irondequoit.

I will probably be looking into outside cheaper markets once I establish myself locally first and really find my niche.
