@Frank HouptI start with picking an area of the country I think I would like to visit and I have direct access to either by an "easy" drive or direct flight.

I lived there for school and believe it offers a good mix of what I am looking for, having quick city access and access to the suburbs for people working there.  

On just 3 blocks :)  when life gives you lemons, right?

@Imran AhmedTo your question about Cape Coral waterfront properties or not, with duplexes or triplexes you might find some on fresh water canals but it's rare to see them on gulf access canals.

At BP, not only can you network with other investors, you can access great information such as free online videos and courses for you to watch and learn from.

@Chris McCune I have a well paying job in the engineering field and had access to a good amount of capital at 24, plus I am frugal so getting to 2x my monthly expenses (based on limited 2-year history of income/expenses) wasn't that hard.

Account ClosedI would say not too many wholesalers are licensed realtors, but I find that it helps bring professionalism, and it gets you access to the MLS with ease and it bring more benefits that it does non-benefits.  

Looks like a great building block for your business. 

I'm Karen, one of the newer investors on the block.  

I recently saw on the MLS a large block of 9 properties east of downtown, south of 45 (basically 3rd ward area) for $425k.
