I have something unique there.

In my opinion, the perfect strategy for making solid wealth fast in real estate, is a combination of an active niche (wholesaling, flipping, working as an agent, etc) to build capital, plus BRRR acquisition of cash flowing rentals.

This is not a business of square pegs in round holes, in other words, one niche or system doesn't make a business.

Some will find their niche quickly and others will go on for some time and never make a single deal.

Scott The Book on Flipping Houses, The Book on Estimating ReHab Costs http://www.biggerpockets.com/flippingbookYou might consider Niche or Specialized Housing like student housing.

Even seriously defaulted NPNs (which is a fine niche) don't just show up on note sites or craigslist.

I'm especially excited for you and your unique background and experience you've already got! 

So listening to the podcasts I think I will be pursuing the wholesale niche to start and work my way to flipping. 

When you're talking about an area where rents can go from $1,200 a month to over $2,500, that's a huge hit that can bankrupt a lot of newer landlords and take a very long time to recover from.I think you have the unique opportunity to make your mark in an area that your family already invests in. 

Good to see you have found a specialty type Niche market that you enjoy            Now after 911 I don't have the knowledge to know WHAT changes have been made reguarding Foreign Investments .
