I should dig deeper for the next deal and get something off the MLS. 

My first question would be what are some key indicators for looking at a property, and knowing that it is even worth the effort of digging deeper.

Hi Jack,Which deal pencils out to more for you, and less risk.For instance if you have a partner with deeper pockets, and something goes wrong for a few months, and you are cash strapped at the moment, the partner may be able to cover the problems (not all seemingly cash flush partners will be cash flush when you need them though).Will a partner add anything to the deal for you.

Your responses helped me dig deeper and learn about these numbers.

Find one that you like the look and feel of, and then begin diving in deals and your CRM process. 

I already have several contacts in this market who have been through a number of corrections but it would be great to hear some other recommendations on which blogs, books, or podcasts exist to help really dive deep into buying foreclosure properties.

IF NJ is home, then start there and really dive into that market to start out.

I look forward to diving deeper and connecting with the community!

I definitely have feel like I can overcomplicate my mental process when it comes to analyzing which market to dive into.

So bare with me and please forgive me if I don't dive into the many variables that come down that making that decision in one post.
