There are different nuances to each market , and one tip that I picked up here is while you are saving money for your investments, start driving / visiting areas you would like to invest in so you get a feel for prices, rents , house conditions etc, and visit and look at lots of homes and open houses so your eye get used to looking at repairs / upgrades that are normal in a particular market.

., I've got my eye set on the main line as well, so let me know if you see anything amazing out there that you have to pass on :)

Thank you,James use a quality primer (like Zinser bulls-Eye, 123) then your choice of paint.source: deep brown, deep brick red, some bright orange, blue and indigo, house with dogs...

Beyond that, crossing my fingers and keeping a constant eye on trends is the next step, haha!

You can connect with the group via meetup.com or just keep an eye out for the meetings to be posted here on BP.

Especially if you are talking multifamily units.In the next twelve months, we have the goal of 10 flips/wholesales netting an average $20k profit.That should double every twelve months and once at the point of seven-figure liquidity, we have our eyes on commercial and massive multifamily units.With the growth rate of North Texas and the lovely business friendly state governance we have, it should continue for the foreseeable future.

@David Faulkner  I am now an official lyft driver.. not sure I can figure out how to use the app though.. but will try it one Sat morning for fun.. it was a funny processyou show up and they have to inspect the car.. guy says turn on the engine.. ( I said I don't have an engine  he looks at me  funny)  I said DUDE this is an electric car it just goes.. kind of stunned then he had to make sure the seat belts worked.. and boom the Tesla was approved.then of course you have to upload your stuff on your EYE phone with pictures and that was cool never did that before so if nothing else I leaned how to do that.but then and its a big but.. they hit you with a test at the end.. and its the rules of a cabbie basically so I flunked that.. they were shocked.. but I got to take it when I got home and only missed one the second time around.. so now I know when I pick someone up I am to turn the music down and greet them with a warm hello.. also I should not smoke in my car or allow others to. some other pearls.what I found interesting was the lady next to me was saying the reason she is doing it.is she works right by the airport.. so on her way to work she can pick someone up.. and when going home she is hoping she can take someone from airport towards her home.. thereby making money on her normal commute.. a few of the others said same thing they just want to pick folks up on the commute.  

Very informative and eye-opening stuff!

I am searching zillow pretty regularly to keep an eye on the market but most of deals are coming in under 5% cap.

I can imagine that could be quite eye awakening for a surprised investor.
