Thanks everyone--what an incredible resource you are! 

Though I don't have any hard data, I think it would be fair to speculate that a very large portion of the BP community has very grandiose ideas that will lead them to financial freedom (which can mean something different for everybody) and even though there is a wealth of resources available not only here but across the web that can make different investing strategies easy to digest in a paint-by-numbers format, the truth is that it's an incredible grind day in and day out.Even those that have achieved "financial freedom" (or at least those we perceive to have) are still at it everyday, preserving and building upon their accomplishments. 

I'm doing my best to identify hot areas to invest in.I'm looking for vacant lots to buy.

The numbers can work extremely well renting by the room here and the demand is incredible!

I don't invest in CA or any of the hot markets so can't really speak to that but I value cash flow and that is probably hard in your area at the same time a really value investing locally...how is that for a useless answer?

@Xingshu Sun I highly recommend @Diego Corzo... the man is incredible at what he does and has an amazing story!

The more hot and humid it gets the worse the smell is.

Those are almost never a good idea.Pouring a pot of hot water down a kitchen drain every week or two does wonders for keeping them unclogged.

Hi Dave,Northern/NW suburbs of Detroit is a hot market.

- Because this looks good on paper, what are the things that I should have prepared prior to making a deal in order to strike while the iron is hot?
