I've just watched a fractional deal hit the skids for a $1 mil condo on Hilton Head Island after 20 years of fairly trouble-free operation. 25% owner wants to be liquid, but the partnership doesn't guarantee liquidity.

Watch the local newspaper, browse local and state government websites, and keep websites like the HUD Home Store bookmarked, which will alert you to up-and-coming properties.Attend local eventsLocal events such as community gatherings, property auctions, or real estate investment meetups are excellent places to discover off-market deals.

I just watched an advertisement online for an upcoming free webinar.

My agent was a super nice lady, probably 75, but no idea about investing.

Ladies who have body lotion and other stuff on will jump right in the hot tub without rinsing it off.  

This is how real people get a real start in real estate, not some fantasy of easy money and watching others do what must be done.

If I weren't there, I would have a home watch person go over after someone leaves to check on it but then still clean it prior to next guest.

The #1 determinant is the Tenant Pool.If you don't believe us, try putting several Class D tenants in Class A apartment buildings and watch what happens.

More of something to think about, and like I said, I'm not sure I believe that, but as we discussed the careers of several agents that we have watched over the years, it was pretty much true in these examples.Another idea is to visit new home builders in those cities. 

I am SO EXCITED to be speaking at BPCON this year and meeting everyone who is interested in RV Parks... and all my ladies!
