The"shows," in the main, are brief video tours of listings, hosted by a local Milwaukee television personality.

I hear about opportunities in Utah, Ohio, MI, IL, NY but the main problem I do see with this is I dont really know the area which would then kinda break my rule of investing (Dont invest in what you dont know).

Welcome to the site ;), where in Maine are you from?

They now can't even break even by renting mainly because there are so many homes in the sub-division that are owned by investors.

I have located a GREAT piece of land in the middle of a town who recently revamped it's entire main-street.

Signs at nearby intersections (main roadways)6.

I realized renting wouldn't be viable because I don't have enough money for a down payment on a new place.I guess my main question is.... in a fierce market like SF, would it be possible to upgrade to a new place without spending any of my own money?

However if you are only providing services in "real estate" i wiould recommend you develop a main portal and some small websites to drive traffic to your main Falgship website.

The main thing with those properties is that you want to make sure you're cash flow positive (even with vacancies) with a nice net income.

My main goal at the moment is to become as familiar as possible with everything rehab and real estate so i can be successful with this investment and develop my next investments into more profitable ones as i go.
