You need to to give specific numbers. 

Meet with other local investors to hear about market specifics, and learn from their experiences. 

I'm looking for a SFH in the Fresno CA area, specifically in the tower district.

But since you asked specifically about performing notes, this doesn't seem to apply.I think you'll need to clarify what you are looking for to get appropriate answers. 

There are accredited real estate schools in every state and most larger towns, colleges and universities teach real estate, there are business courses that involve real estate as well as (and specifically) business law courses.

I would like to consult and ask a series of questions specific to the area.

Any tips are highly appreciated as I am a total newbie to this specific area of investing.

Best of luck to you in your venture and if you want to discuss more specifics of what I would do I'd be happy to (not sure how much it's worth, I haven't done it yet!).

As far as amenities, I don't plan on concerning myself with a specific niche just yet.If you have any pointers or advice let me know.Thanks!

Hey BPJust thought I'd post to see how many private equity / investors are active in Georgia, specifically those interested in high-return corporate housing, hospitality and senior care (skilled care & assisted living).
