In fact being a guide gave me access to even more unique opportunities. 

Any given contract will have its own unique clauses, and will spell out many of the contingencies he may be concerned about.

Besides going to local meetings, there are a few major things to consider after you select your niche and market area but before you make offers.  

@Sandeep Anand investing in individual notes is in and of itself a considerable niche in real estate.

I'm planning on talking about the opportunity (size of the market), my skills and why I would be able to bring a unique value to the industry and also how much I need and what I would do with it and how much money I think that I would make in the first year. 

Flipping probably being the most rare (as far as people I know that are making a full time gig out of it and consistently making good money).Unless you have a niche that most other people aren't doing around here, or you have some sort of 'in' with an experienced local investor (who is willing to siphon their deals off to you), and/or you are able to consistently devote the time equivalent of somewhere between a part-time job and two full-time jobs working your lead/acquisition system - you might find it very challenging to do much more than get lucky here or there, best case.To me, the less than top tier cities/markets in NC seem to be a smarter play for the picking up rentals right now (so - NOT Charlotte, Raleigh, Durham, perhaps to a slightly lesser extent Wilmington, etc).But I'm wrong about all sorts of things all the time, just ask my wife. 

A huge bonus making this race unique and unlike any other that we know of...For the first 250 runners that finishes the race, whether running one of the ultra-distances or the relay, The Clothier family is donating $100 to the Boston Children's Hospital.  

I agree there is something cheesy in the offer/numer, but anyway if  buy it, i will deploy property management who will handle thisMy role of thump rule that anything proivde high income there is something wrong with it," too good to be true" No, it's real but it's a niche that's for local experienced investors.

It depends on what your niche is.

If you're the type that likes to go out and meet people, you may want to try the networking route in whatever niche you decide to choose (i.e. foreclosures, landlord evictions, probates, etc.).
