I should have introduced my self sooner but, Everytime I sign on I get caught up in reading something that catches my attention.

no problem its not real complicated you just don't know what you don't know until you experience it.you want your experience or knowledge to equal or exceed your buyer so you can best position yourself. for not in the business land owners selling to developers.for me the short to do list is1. first and foremost talk with your CPA and make sure they understand what your doing.. don't want to box yourself into a tax situation you don't care for.2. tight contract.. remember builder/developers by and large are sophisticated buyers.. so need to level the playing field.. this is not some wholesaler trying to snake a property.3. once figure out have a good RE attorney draft the contract don't use standard board of realtor or MLS forms.. it should be a custom contract in my mind..

But you need to be careful - some of the really good deals were severely flooded in the hurricanes and many require hefty flood insurance.  

The other ones that have caught my personal attention are Atlanta and Tampa, they somehow seem familiar to my hometown (Minneapolis)If you want a local's input, @Kyle Eckert is a STL investor.

@Sean Trily Cleveland is the Best overall rental market in America, 2 years in a row ranked by Forbes, Really the last 10 years, but they were not paying attention.

view=part&hea...If you want a more visual version, go to the Minnesota Landlords and Tenants Rights and Responsibilities here: https://www.ag.state.mn.us/Brochures/pubLandlordTe... 504B.271 indicates you (landlord) will take possession of the items and must store and care for them for 28 days after notice of abandonment (when they tell you they're gone).

You have to be really careful in South Houston, it is a large area but most of it is areas most people would not invest. 

Nobody cares about your money like you do.

Typical motivated seller phrase: "I'm out of state, I just wanted to get rid of the house", etc.What caught my attention is that he says he's been living out of state for nearly the length of an entire high school career.

Be careful working with some folks there because you will pay the out of state premium.
