The first thing you wanna do is go understand the market your in and also go to your local REIA meet-ups and find out who's investing in your market.

I am also looking forward to meeting other Bigger Pockets members so we can share information and help each other to continue our growth in Real Estate.

You need to have multiple different independent accounts of what a property looks like, inside and out, and what the properties potential is as a rental that will meet your investing needs. 3) Try to get something as turn key as possible.

We were targeting a cash on cash return > 11% so these new terms do not meet our goals.  

Michael,I would track down the bigger players in your area and go into their office or a meet up.  

Check out the nearby members and network at https://www.biggerpockets.com/meet, it will help you a lot to find partners that can help you out in investing.

If anyone wants to meet up for a coffee or something please let me know.

@Paul Bryzek Before you start looking, you 1st need to be sure that you have the funds to meet the 3.5% down payment.

Why spend hours and gas money driving around to build this "super hot" list and chance you don't make contact? 

I currently reside in Morrow Georgia so if anyone's in the neighborhood or in the area would like ever meet up or need a helping hand on a project just shoot me a message!
