howdyOne of your best sources for finding good rental property(if thats what you want) is a good property management firm.As a former firm owner a large number of my sales were to folks wanting good rental properties.Agents who manage property know who wants to sell and what the true market conditions are in their area.There is nothing sadder than having to tell an out of town investor that they bought a property from an agent or seller, that won't rent.

I want to know what people(both experienced and beginner investors) see as the biggest obstacle or problem faced by people starting out as creative RE investors.

The biggest key is purchase price.

But, and correct me if I'm wrong, I believe that the biggest challenge of asking is that we either don't know or can't or won't express what our needs are.We know that the needs are there.We know that you have needs.We just don't know what they are and we don't know when you need to have them addressed.As a member here on BiggerPockets, I'd like for each member to feel as comfortable as possible in sharing your needs.

You also want to find good sources of financing hopefully only putting 10% or less down if possible.

I immediately begansearching some of my sources for tenants in the N Atlanticstates.

Why you seem to be getting confused is that you hear different things froom various sources, and they ALL may be correct, in that instance.

At this point my biggest challenge is finding an investor with flexibility who can move quickly.

The biggest problem is not knowing what you don't know.

Biggest key here is make sure you think of everything and take it into account BEFORE you spend your grocery money on a property.
