Hello all.  Trying to figure out the best way to tackle this and I know you all would be able to help.  We are looking at our first flip - ARV is $ 145-150 K, contract is $95,000 we are estimating a repair budget of $...

Much better to join your local REIA or attend CFRI events (if you are in the Central/North Florida area).

(I'm north of SFO an hour plus, in Santa Rosa.)

Trudy, we like the North Side of Houston and we like B Neighborhoods for their rent/value ratios.

I am visiting Atlanta next weekend to explore possible investment opportunities, probably in the northern Atlanta market. I am looking for real estate agent to help me explore the neighborhoods and show me properties....

its hard finding them here in north nj should i look for short sales or foreclosure?

I am just getting starting in building a rental portfolio as we are selling a couple of our properties in other areas (Northwest FL and North Carolina) to help fund our rental portfolio. 

Any agents on the north shore of Massachusetts that specialize in multi-family properties 

At this point I'd like to get something that offers great cash flows  I'm open to any areas but preferably in North NJ, also any type MFH or SFHs.

arrive from INDY that day at 12 leave the next day at 4pm for Orlando.well if your going all the way to San Deigo  just head north up the CA coast into Oregon its spectacular drive.. then head east to Spokane area and cross into Montana there then work your way back south a bit through Yellowstone and the Grand Tetons  which are about as cool a place as you can go in the US.
