Congrats on picking up your first property.

I pick up most of my properties from judicial foreclosure auctions!

A great place to start, is here on BiggerPockets then beyond from amazon or wherever, just pick a credible source

For 100k its pretty slim pickings in the better areas.

Just pick a stable market.

Anyone else have trouble picking a niche? 

Since I'm primarily interested in diversification at the moment, my guess is that if we do decide to jump into real estate, it will probably be in a more mixed form. . . starting with a SFH and picking up one or two MF later.  

I keep hearing about the miracle morning so after i finish reading the 80/20 principle and the E myth revisited ill have to pick it up along with the 4 hour work week and The millionaire investor. 

I track down their phone number and call them after my direct mail piece is sent stating that I'm just calling to follow up. 2) Speed - a) Are you picking up your phone on the first or second ring or are you sending them to voicemail?
