Stephen Woods Haha we are on the same train of thought.

In my youth I sold Kirby vacuums, and Omaha style steaks door to door, and I was trained that its a numbers game, and you have to knock on quite a few doors to get a sale.

I think you are on the right track with trying to follow the new train lines in LA - however, I am not sure if there will be many deals available there as many people have had the same idea and I suspect the smart money got into it back when the lines were just a plan sitting in the city hall basement.  

They offer great training and networking for new investors. 

I've read tons of books and watched a lot of training videos but I learn better by doing the critical day to day tasks for success.

I went to the Rich Dad workshops and paid for a 3 day training of nothing but sales pitches and how to max out your credit cards.

The universe has delivered you here!

@Joe Villeneuve I see what you're saying and that was my original train of thought when I began putting together this business.

Hello BiggerPockets,I am new to joining the forums but have been listening to the podcasts for a few months (over halfway through them so far).My real estate story thus far is short: I bought a fix and live-in single family home, my wife and I fixed it up during my [physician] residency training, we sold it for a profit, and now we are closing on a new home where I will be working post-training.I will admit that most of the profit in selling our first home​ came from our neighborhood in Rochester, New York going up in value, but I do think we added some value to the home as well.

Look for emerging markets close to highways and train systems.
