We are thinking about putting the money in some investment funds and when the housing market takes its next downward turn we will have a nice chunk to reinvest in property.Thanks for all your input and look forward to any further knowledge from the experts.  

SEO takes time.I personally believe that DMM should NOT be attempted if you are starting investing.PPC/Facebook ads is in ANY and every way better than DMM in my opinion.Figure out the cost/deal of PPC and include the cost of hiring an expert and I can almost guarantee you will make money (if you  again calculate the cost/deal right and you do target the right audience.I receive over 10 calls on average a day since I started marketing for my SEO business from investors that tell me that they lost all their money doing DMM.Agian, those that succeed doing DMM.. good for you.

5K huh... hmmmm.. magic sweaty ball of predictions let me give it a rub and see what it says.Here is what you can do... wait let me rephrase this... here is what I would do.With (just) 5K budget, you can't really risk winging it so listen up.I would hire a PPC expert and I would get my first deal ASAP.Here is why it is crucial you get a deal ASAP.Every month you do not make money... you lose money.Rent, food, crablegs, questionable entertainment,  seriously questionable entertainment... women (get your mind out of the gutters boi, I mean your wife, your daughters, GF your female pet dog fido needs dog food too) rent, insurance,  soap... ehh who needs soap... be honest.

and DJ M is hinting about that also.Some advice: DO NOT buy a Detroit property via Quit Claimed Deed (QCD) unless you are an expert in the Detroit market!

These are certified the same as an RV and you wouldn’t want them.

I was very surprised by this statement but maybe I should not have been because James and Erin did mention this possibility in the video so that's why I'm asking you experts for advice on what I can do next.  

Greetings everyone,my goal is to become an expert in ANYTHING and EVERYTHING related to worldwide real estate (hotspots, trends, emerging markets...) and real estate investments so I know and understand it all as much as that is possible.

You can also ask @Jerryll Noorden, SEO expert.

Act like an expert.

Since I am not yet an expert in the area, I ask my RE agent to analyze ARV for both MLS and wholesale properties I receive.
