If there is no on site management try to talk to the residents that have the most obvious pride of ownership coaches and get the scoop.

I just found this site on a google search and I gotta say-great info!

Any help is apperciated...I am young and willing to soak up the info...and FYI- from all the forums I have been on researching...this site def has the most knowledgable people!!

Its always good to familiarize yourself with the tricks of the trade (because there are TONS) to not only protect yourself, but your investment.A few ways to get involved are:build a relationship with a developer.find ways to service what they need like:Offer Title Services at a discountOffer brokerage serviceStart a Retaining wall, fencing, irrigation companyif your an engineer offer to take a second look at some plansIf your an architect do the sameIf you are an attorney offer some advice on contractual obligationsIf your an analyst, draw out some cash flowsIf your an accountant, offer to help, create JE's Adjustments, filing, etc.If you have a knack for construction, get out to the sites and look around.If you are good public speaker, get in front of the County officials and pitch a project to the county.Look for the meetings in the county and attend a couple of hearings for development approvals...its public.If you are a banker, look at the deals, contact the developers in your area, go meet them, offer services. etc.Development is about getting out there and putting your ear to the ground.

Welcome to the site.

Heard about this site through a podshow and decided to check it out.

Also, one thing that somewhat concerns me is that I'm trying to find average rental price for the building but I can't seem to find much except this one ad for a studio that shows up everywhere (on all the rental sites).

This is an amazing site with wonderful resources.

I would like to know from the more experienced investors on this site what your investment strategy is in this changing market.Will you still be rehabbing & selling, or buying & holding?

If you doubt my words on this please search the archives on this and other investment sites!
