Hey Matt,Welcome to the best online resource for real estate investing that you will ever come across!

So I did as much research as i could online and found that all the cheap properties were in pretty rough neighborhoods and the local economy did not seem to support flipping in any significant volume.I then looked into Memphis TN, again all properties under 40k were in rough neighborhoods.I'm now leaning towards San Antonio, Austin, Dallas, or HoustonThe only problem with them is finding a house under 40k for us to live in, I did find a few Manufactured homes in the country close to Dallas and some a little over a hour north of Houston, I would be fine living in one of the manufactured homes close to Dallas for quite some time, my only issue is tying up most of my free cash in a house that i cannot refi to free up the cash again.Thanks for taking the time to read my rather long post and i look forward to hearing your suggestions!

We have one this week on Wednesday night, you can check out the calendar on our website.  

If you sleep better at night knowing you've got solid equity in a property that also generates solid cash flow, great.

As well as @Doug Merriott 's group, there's a great Monday night meeting for the Tampa REIA at a Hibachi buffet in Pinellas Park.

:)There is the NEREIA on the 5th but I assume unless you are leaving in the middle of the night you won't be able to go to that.I might have missed some possibilities as I don't go to others that I don't know the exact dates of.

The REIA just had one the other day but the email was not sent out until the night before.

They do all of the online advertising on the major sites.

Hi everyone, My name is Ken, I live in Palm Coast Fl, and just became pro last night..

What I usuall do is go on line and request a listing of recently sold homes in the zip code I'm interested in from Zillow and Trulia this usually gives me an idea.
