@Suzanne BolesWell I have never seen a legit lender on the initial contact form ask for place of birthThere are 100’s of legit lenders out there - recommend sticking with them

I've been toying with the idea of doing some FaceBook marketing but haven't had a chance to really dig into it yet.  

That’s far better than they can make in the volatile stock market  annualized year after year in cash flow alone.

I've read Michael Blank's book: Financial Freedom with Real Estate Investing and have started to do some research on markets I want to invest in. 

If you look at Orlando, 365 market for the most part but it is one of the toughest markets to succeed in.

He put it the market and the real estate agent advised him to add a closet to what had actually been a bonus addition to the two bedroom one bath house. 12 years old at the time my father asked me to give it a try.

We are building wonderful houses for great clients that, in this market, soon have fantastic value over the cost to build.

My recommendation for you is to identify your goals and find the market that will cater your strategy. 

We sell more multifamily than anyone else and come across quite a bit off market too!

That said, I'm unfamiliar with the market and would love to meet with other investors who are finding some success (and mishaps) to help refine my game plan.If there are any REI meets ups please let me know!
