I am focusing on B neighborhoods and since the rents and prices vary by the block within hot neigbhourhoods, I am having a challenge zeroing on a few.

I'd love to hear how some of you have faced this challenge, especially going into your first deal.

I however am good at what I am good at and people that approach me all ask me to help them with SEO.There is nothing wrong with gurus charging to be a mentor as it takes a lot of time and effort.

I’m not sure the best way to approach the topic of wanting to buy there home for investment purposes and under market value.

Hi Christopher, my realtor, who manages investment properties for some out of state investors and I (on both of my current houses) use Ron Borgogni at Right Approach Home Inspection LLC.

It make make finding a higher cash flow property even more challenging.  

Just need an advise on how best to approach, or if I should approach them at all.The property is still off market.

and at the time if you were an agent you just charge a 50k commission commissions are negotiable and your done.I personally in 2004 had a builder approach me he had  23 standing duplex's that were not moving he knew I had a fly buy program working on the west coast..
