My current strategy is to seek hybrid opportunities to get into undervalued buy and hold 2/3/4 plexes to generate steady cash flow over the long term.

Even though I'm still a little overwhelmed I'm making progress one step at a time.I'm currently trying to get involved and meet people in my area. 

:shock:Realtors I've spoken with here said we're seeing approximately a 2% per month steady decline.

Even if not, the new hospitals and new jobs in the new development areas will provide a steady base of tenants.

My ultimate goal is to have several apt complexes providing me a steady stream of $$.

Definitely keep me posted on your progress, I'm sure I'll be able to help you in both aspects.  

I think your budget will be great and you should see calls and progress quickly, I cannot garuntee that you will get deals form that but, it you have a 7% call back from the almost 2000 letters you can send with that money and a 25% deal rate off of those calls, you will have a deal very quickly.Good luck. keep us updated!

While tiling around a tub in our Master Bath, I was listening to Kiyosaki on YouTube the hands were too messy to try and stop the autoplay, this guy named Brandon Turner came on talking about evaluating rental properties and developing steady cash flow.

Again I would advise somewhere closer to you, in a location that's easily accessible to you so you can go and check out the work and get progress updates.

Everything was progressing well but now I feel that my goal might be in jeopardy.
