@Tommy McGraw Condos are good to put in if the target market will be buying them as a primary residence.

Given that you're brand new and will be living on site as well you may be better served to target an empty property.

I target C class markets and look for cash flow.

The 3-5 year timeline is a little tight, but buying a fixer upper will help to hedge against that.Summary - Look at your target market every day. 

Authentic, professional and targeted messaging.

I have gotten and had clients get good deals at these auctions, but they had the cash and we did the advance research on the docket to know which properties we were targeting - the ones with the lowest upset value.

So, do you take the 11 cents on the dollar or tell them to pound sand? 

My current phase is determining the market I would like to target for long distance investing.

Most of the developers I represent in NYC and most of my multifamily investments are targeted at the ripple effect - looking at where the growth is headed over the next 12-24 months and buying there now.

The appraiser is going to set a price target for your property based on the construction plans, which is a bit backwards.
