If you can find a great boots on the ground person to work with you to help you1.

Having first degree friends with boots on the ground hunting down investments in Houston, I'm sad to say: you're late.

And free Electricity to boot!  

We have made a career buying and selling land (more than 15,000 deals) and older urban settings like New Orleans, and cities in the rust belt like Detroit (where I'm from) require full time, boots on the ground approach to investment.The prices are so tempting, but as just about everyone else here, I recommend staying away.There are literally thousands of other markets in which to flip land.

The 30 day challenge should be spent with boots on the ground with a list of sold properties in your area.

Only 1 picture of a furnace so you may be on the hook for Gas/heating which won't be insignificant in Buffalo.It's worth looking at more but nothing you're going to figure out from the listing, likely need boots on the ground info.

I'm averaging right around $200/unit/month (with an abnormally long early 2015 winter vacancy to boot).

I was just coming out of boot camp and could not rent earlier. 

Without "boots on the ground" that are VERY familiar with these areas it's best to avoid the parts inside the loop.

(Also, Laurie and Zohn have already given you some starter information, and a motivation pep-talk to boot).Welcome to BP.
