The biggest part is to find the right deals. 

@Kevin Sack @Will Parker The deal was sourced off-market.

This is my biggest hurdle in trying to narrow down the markets to invest in outside of SF, where I live.

If I stayed in touch, many of the sellers would eventually ask me to list, so I liked FSBO’s and found them to be a good source of new listIngs.

My biggest concern with tertiary markets has always been the buyer pool.

My long term goal would be a heavily passive source of cashflow.

Hi everyone,When researching median sales prices for my local real estate area, I have found Zillow, Realtor.com and Trulia to have very different statistics.I would be interested in your opinions of what source you use and who is the most accurate.

I am not interested in alternate HELOC or other sources of financing unless terms are 30 year and interest rate sub 6%.Thanks!

If I type all of the reasons why this is one of the biggest mistakes a new investor makes, I'll end up with carpal tunnel.
