I live on the east coast, so my game plan would focus on properties in the Midwest as the price points are better.Appreciate your input, and please be blunt and tell me if I've fallen off the deep end!!

I used to frequent the forums more and read up on real estate investing, but lately life has had me focusing on the here and now.

Biggest focus should be on a company who isnt going to rob you blind with repairs or is more interested in getting their placement fees every few months for the bad tenants they continually place.
