My opinion is get to know one market, and invest there before you even consider studying a second market.

That reminds me that -- especially after this thread -- I need to start studying up a lot more on creative deal structuring.

I like graduate students better than undergrad because they tend to be more mature and focus on studying more than entertaining guests.

I have a good amount of experience in RE so I started by studying the Orlando Market in depth on Zillow and MLS.

I have been studying REI for a while now and am going to get a jump on it shortly.

I have studying and researching different methods of real estate investment for several months now, and have decided to dive into the vacant land arena. 

Full-time studies in undergrad (for most people) should still allow you to work full-time hours if your schedule is flexible. 

I clearly have to study REIT's further. 

One of the things I see repeated here as well as other sources I have been studying is that sometimes these "hidden potential" homes are overlooked by others, but they could also end up being a nightmare.Thoughts please, and thank you very much in advance.

You may find my vantage point to be valuable as I am a self proclaimed 'live in case study' in this area.
