Since getting a W2 job two months ago, I've focused my spare time (and mental energy) on managing and investing my fixed income. 

You should visit all the meet ups we have here focused real estate investing, especially the one in little Havana!

You also have four individuals which increases the number of cars on the property, more visitors, higher likelihood of partying, more inter-personal relationship problems, more wear-and-tear, etc. 

Louis, I would probably have limited my focus to that market.Due to my current studies and lack of income, I'm currently helping my father get started as a real estate investor (the blind leading the blind so to speak) rather than pursuing deals for myself.

I’d focus on well paid professionals, which will probably be the only group of people that will be able to afford the rent.

Our current investment focus is buy-and-hold multi-units around Muskegon, Spring Lake, Grand Haven and even Grand Rapids. 

What towns are you focused on?

For lease option deals, I would focus on marketing to Expired MLS listings, FSBOs, and For Rent Lisitngs( Landlord could be tired of dealing with property).

This was not just a RE Investing focused podcast, it was also an extremely valuable “Life Lesson” that is dripping with motivation and higher-level knowledge for those ready to receive it.
