$250, it lets me review properties once I am away, does great in low light and has great audio so taking notes on location is a breeze.

Develop world-class strategy and investment writing/video/audio content for real estate investors and sales professionals.

There was no BP then but I listened to real estate seminars on cassette tapes (for those of you young ones - that's what we have before audio CDs).

I opted for the same strategy when I moved out of my studio condo, the income potential was so much higher than long term that it seemed silly not to try it.  

I mean hell, maybe in the off season or something.The 35k ones are just small studios.  

Together with my father (both part time in REI), we managed to acquire (for renting) a few apartments, a couple of studios and to buy an empty land on which we built a house, all in Bucharest, the capital of Romania.I already read some articles on BiggerPockets and I was truly impressed by the quality of the content, the success stories and the learning material.

By choosing mid-sized units (they are each one bedroom and a loft) we are able to attract long term renters as opposed to ski season leases (who normally want a studio to themselves or a 3 or 4 bedroom so they can cram a bunch of roommates in there).

If it's 7 studios in an old house where the owner pays all heat and you go by on a day where it's 40 degs outside and all the upstairs windows are open then it's probably not much of a deal.

My old company developed several large industrial buildings into artist studios and micro offices.

I like the idea of short reading/video/audio assignment pulled from articles, good forum threads, or the tools & resources page.
