Just focus on Syracuse and its suburbs and be careful with rural properties.     

If you just pick any one of “hot areas” and get started and focus in on that one area or a specific Zip code, you should see results.... unless that area is just too saturated with direct mail...... or pick a few areas and just be really specific with your list......... if you can get a property under contract for 70% of ARV minus repairs you’ll have a deal 

I think I may be focusing too much on the price of the home vs the cashflow.

At least for now, I'll stick to what I know, my own backyard.I've based my focus in East Hartford, Manchester, Willimantic, Mansfield, and of course Glastonbury... though you gotta be quick, lucky, or both to find a deal in my hometown. :)

Focused on mainly Johnson / Douglas counties at this time.  

Based on the situation you described I would focus on saving/analyzing deals. 

To me it's just semantics...I'm not too worried about what they call me as long as I focus on keeping my business running smoothly,  In my opinion, you have a good newbie "problem" on your hands...I anticipate the problems get worse as time goes on :)  Good luck on your journey!

@Caleb Heimsoth That makes sense, I guess I need to focus on them trusting the deal first.

Whereas our other seminars focus on maximizing your understanding of real estate, Adam's Rib focuses on maximizing your understanding what woman really want, and showcasing your real estate bona fides in such a way that women will flock to you.
