Welcome to BP - lots of great markets and submarkets in the general DFW area, even stretching now up to near Oklahoma in the north and down towards Waco/Temple South - lots to evaluate and choose from!

Hey Everyone, Looking to connect with other investors, agents, appraisers and contractorsmy market is: Jacksonville, FLIf you are a beginner or senior - I want you to be my friend!

And you have to be specific with the market within Vegas.

The national courses are pretty tough to learn the local specifics in my opinion....and tax sales are very very local.Find someone local where you want to invest....check your local REIAs. 

I remember listening to a podcast episode of someone who would rent their LTRs to a non-profit at market value so they could use the housing for people in need.

Another difference is the difference in marketing channels.
