Long distance investing is a challenge but if you do your homework and develop local contacts it is rewarding.

The auction is always the first week in Feb.https://www.bidmaricopa.com/ There is a lot to it but once you decide on which tax stratigy you want to focus on it is fun and rewarding.

I've used smart move numerous times, never had a problem, seemed pretty straight forward.

In other words "performance based compensation" that distributes risk & reward appropriately.

All you have to do is go with the flow and understand your mission is to focus on the end result and do eveything that has to be done in a timely basis to achieve your rewards.

@Heajin Kim,A 10 percent return would be too low to get the attention of most seasoned investors, especially active seasoned investors.Every Investor is UniqueI believe that every investor is unique in that they must determine their own level of risk and workload vs. reward.

Savvy investors know a good deal when they see it, they also know bad deals.I've done numerous deals in areas around my state that I had no buyers in.

I have looked at numerous different offerings and they are always at least 15-20% more expensive.

If you happen to have the financial strength to start flipping houses I would suggest that as the reward is much greater.I will recommend someone starting out to wholesale 2-3 properties a month and once you get the volume going to maybe keep 1 of the wholesale deals to renovate and continue to whole 2 a month to keep cash flow steady.Whatever you do, never stop marketing or networking.

Beware of using others’ acceptable reward (return) determination.
