The cheapest areas I've seen just browsing around seem to be in Sacramento, but not sure if that's the best choice or not since it's rather far.

For me, flipping is like roulette at the casino...so treat it like a business and not a hobby.

@Aida Casino    Keep in mind Hard Money is more expensive which should only be used if you have no cheaper option when the opportunity arises.

I’m currently not on the MLS and just browsing with Realtor.com.

I've been listening to the podcasts, reading the blog and browsing the forums and all the information here has really helped give me confidence to take that leap.

I was researching how to calculate depreciation on my first duplex that I bought and I was browsing through the county assessor website and noticed that my land value is $250k and the improvement value is $28k.

I really like reading across all BP, not just browsing specific forums.

files per page, and 13 pages that I apparently must browse through in order to find anything I'm looking for. 

Seems like the next step for me is to browse the Gainesville market some to get a better feel for the market (costs vs. rents) and then if I find there are options that may generate more profit then I can evaluate my options further.

If so, are they at least 3 Beds, 1.5 bath, as I would think anthing smaller would be competing directly with casino hotels.
