@Karen SchimpfFinding your "blue ocean" takes time but it is a lot more funMy "blue ocean" has always been look for a re problem and find a creative solutionThe book by James Misko "how to finance any property anytime" gives 40 case studies on unique financing strategies

I even worked up one of our houses in a case study to show that.

I haven't studied all the figures as consistently as you, but I definitely agree with what you're saying, and have heard/seen the same things.I'm sure you've also heard from scared people over the years that the shadow inventory is going to cause the local market to plummet; it's always on the cusp of happening... but of course never has.

Well, if you're wholesaling, condition should only matter to the investor.That being said, in a case study that I read about (this is is Milwaukee) a guy put under contract a BROKEN down home for $4,000.

I came to the US last September to study.

After quitting that, I went back to community college to study music, and I'm halfway through the program now. it's been a lot of fun, but now of course I must seriously consider my financial future if I want to continue with a music career.The good news is that I have a significant amount of change to invest in thanks to a fortunate family situation.

I've studied a lot about various sections of this niche and checked out my first property yesterday. thats all I have to say and i hope everyone has a great day and we all make some money !!!

I've picked the zip code I want to work in, am now studying the neighborhoods and watching for deals.  

Seems as if you need to study a lot of what @Brandon Turner does.

I've been studying the market for about 2 years now and hoping to land my first couple of deals this year.
