You should visit all the meet ups we have here focused real estate investing, especially the one in little Havana!

Louis, I would probably have limited my focus to that market.Due to my current studies and lack of income, I'm currently helping my father get started as a real estate investor (the blind leading the blind so to speak) rather than pursuing deals for myself.

I’d focus on well paid professionals, which will probably be the only group of people that will be able to afford the rent.

Our current investment focus is buy-and-hold multi-units around Muskegon, Spring Lake, Grand Haven and even Grand Rapids. 

What towns are you focused on?

For lease option deals, I would focus on marketing to Expired MLS listings, FSBOs, and For Rent Lisitngs( Landlord could be tired of dealing with property).
