My aunt is ready to be done with the property so I thought this would be a great first time investment opportunity for me.

I got two opportunities in terms of starting capital: 1.

Having all cash should give you a great opportunity to buy at significant discounts from motivated/desperate Sellers, but, will still require you to be CAREFUL with your due diligence, because once it's spent, it's spent!

There will be so many people with divers investing strategies that it might be a good opportunity for you to get first person input from many different angles .

For what is usually a minimal fee you get education from people who have "been there and done that" and, equally as important, the opportunity to network.

I live in the seacoast area of New Hampshire and have the opportunity to buy a family members house, in the same town I live in, for just what they have in it.

There are two to three markets I am interested in that I have some small relationships within that I could utilize, my hometown, my wife's hometown or a place I visit often for work.My questions concern the opportunity cost of learning the ins and outs of 3 different markets when the requirements of truly knowing the market increase the chances of success.Do I select one based on distance, the potential to cash flow or appreciate, or one that I may have more connections in?

I want to offer qualified individuals with the right mindset and knowledge base the opportunity to join my team and I will pay for you to get your license.  

From door to door including stops it can be 6-7 hour drive.There are opportunities in the Rochester area, but unless you know the market and have troops on the ground I don't see how it could work doing everything remotely from the city.

Unfortunately it's often a power struggle or you're dealing with a mom & pop owner who are not the most organized individuals.... but that can be an opportunity for you!
