In the Sacramento area the best way to search for properties in a precisely targeted geographical area (that I am referring to here as a "mini market") is to have a local real estate professional build you something called a Client Portal.The Portal has a feature (not available to the public yet but capable of being created by a local real estate professional for their client) that lets one select an area drawn over the map with up to 6-8 sides that precisely outlines the area or areas within which you wish to search.They are free to set up, you can have multiple searches, and they are readily accessible 24/7.

Can you ask how they would be filled in or selected, and then ask to have that in writing?

1- Strong National Security - Uh, its a WAR not a game of paddy cake.

You should select the things to do that have to be done - dangerous, tatty, non functioning - and you should select to do the things that will make a sale happen.

I am looking to start with the best and most recommended way to get into the game with about $7000 liquid cash.

For new investors I still believe it is an imperative part of learning the game of finding great properties and wholesaling by driving your farm area or targeted neighborhood (as well as doing your other methods of adverting for them).

This isn't a problem from a cash-flow standpoint or even an equity standpoint, the problem is with then lenders wanting skin in the game.

It is so good to see a community that helps people that are new to the real estate game.

I have been been investing on the light side since 2001, but am aiming to really up my game.

I am also interested in a Short Sale strategy of REI and would love to pick your brain as I am relatively new to the game.
