You want to confirm your expected income.After checking the leases and seeing what the current rents are, I’d also compare them to market rents and see how much time is left on the tenants' leases.

You won't find anything worth while in this area that's listed you'll need to connect with wholesalers to find off market deals or do marketing to find them yourself.

Right now, I am thinking of turnkey out-of-state if the market continues at this pace because property taxes are so high in El Paso and rent growth has not increased with prices. 

In today's market, many office landlords would much rather walk away from their properties and take a loss than fight to attract tenants and avoid foreclosure.

(I have no stake in this other than I just read this section in the book, and this is not some kind of marketing ploy by me.)

Booking.com is definitely gaining some market share as of late.

Have you decided on a target market that you plan on investing in yet?

We went to go see a house that is below market value however, the house needs quite some work.
