I know my focus market very well and just did a drive around last week to write down addresses I was interested in.

Drive on hispanic areas, they usually have big cabinet and granite shops that are run by some chinese guys.

It's ecnomical when using Google Apps (or free) and integrates with Google (mail, calender, drive) and MS Office 365, and many other products (Quickbooks, Evernote, Mailchimp and such).

That's very affordable.You should be able to check comparable rents on-line to find out what rents you could reasonably get for those two units.Regarding legality of two units on one parcel of land, check with the local Building Inspector, or Zoning Board.If it wasn't a three-hour drive from me, I'd buy it.

Final and most important point, surround youself with people who are very knowledgeable and look at for your interest becasuse I have found in life that most things can be accomplished if creative thinking is done but most important planning ahead and that might, depending on your level of expertise, mean you need to find a few investors or CPAs, or investor groups to hook up with.I am investor and every true investor I have met, actually loves helping people succeed. 

I've been driving for dollars lately, and have already found some abandoned homes in my area, yet I am at a lost of what step to take next. 

Yes, I could just give them 24 hours notice and drive down there, but they had been in the home for 11 years so what difference would it make?

Hello Everyone, My name is Jacqueline, while driving for dollars I saw a house that seems vacant.  

Beside high land prices, the cost of living in Hawaii is high, driving up the cost of labor and renovation.

For cash flow investors (such as myself), I would suggest looking in towns surrounding the Madison area.
