I have yet to actually invest into real estate yet, my move to Florida is only a month old and I'd like to be a little more settled in before I start tackling some investment properties.I have yet to decide whether to first take on some rental properties or a flip, since foreclosures seem to be common around here; I plan to further educate myself on both and learn these areas much better, hopefully by attending a real estate investor's club meetings.I'm not aware of the trends, the good, the bad, or anything down here, but I feel that there is plenty of potential in rental properties in such a beautiful, tropical, and popular spot such as South Florida.Well, there is my brief introduction, I have tons of scouting to do in this forum and books to purchase before really making anymore posts, but I'd  like to thank everyone ahead of time for all of the information and help  that you put out there!

Investors and entrepreneurs share a commonality that is contrary to popular opinion. 

Contrary to popular investor beliefs on the internet, nothing really ties up title other than a restrictive covenant to title or joint tenancy ownership exists where both or all owners must agree to pass all interests in title, subject to state laws.

Matt I stop and read your thread it was popular.

also neon green is popular in my neighborhood.

Phoenix/Tempe/Mesa seem to be the popular areas in Arizona right now.

Ive researched some local REI groups in my area and the most popular one appears to be the "I'll help you if you pay $10,000 for my mentorship" programs. 

, Wonderland, KB Homes, Infinity are all very popular in the NE part of Denver.

I second that, Milwaukee is quite popular now.

The main ways people find leads are through some type of list (listsource seems to be the most popular), probate, through their county tax assessor, and driving for dollars.
