My biggest concern in locking in liquid capital in an account for a year with the possibility of "no deal" and having the ability to invest it somewhere else.Any thoughts or insight would be greatly appreciated.  

ANY insight or personal stories would be appreciated

$11,256.40 yr Hi Bob-really appreciate your insight.  

I also hope to gain valuable insight to be successful and avoid pitfalls.

I'm currently in the midst of finding other real estate investors in the area to connect with in order to see what strategies worked for them and how they were able to grow their business in MA, even offering to volunteer at one of their properties to gain more insight.

Thanks for the insight @Lucas Machado.  

Could be things like...Short termCash on Cash returncash flow Deal sizePrice per unitLong termIRRTotal equity increase Cap rate at resaleWould love your insights on which ones are most important and what numbers you use as a minimum for each before you would consider moving forward on a deal.Thanks!

You should visit Tarrant Reginal Auto Crimes Task Force, and they will read everything to you, and I hope you will understand it.Interesting that you are an expert in criminal and civil law in Virginia, Texas, and Ontario, Canada all while living in Orlando.

Would be curious to gain insight to other's experience (positive or negative) in that area, or even connect with anyone that may be looking for this type of service.

Then I just started looking up properties on auction websites that were in my hometown after I saw my old neighbors house had been sold for about 1/2 of the value of the land...This is when I realized that there were potential deals that I would have a better insight on because I was familiar with most of my hometown and where people want to live and do not want to live.
