First off, hats off to Brandon and Josh for creating this amazing resource.I've always been interested in real estate but never committed to learning and setting my goals until this year.I'm currently located in the Boston area, and am looking into properties that are in towns an hour or two away as my target geography.My short term goal in the next year or so is to acquire a multifamily property in a region with low vacancy.

Googling each city and the local chamber of commerce web site is usually a good source.

If you haven't yet- be sure to setup some "Keyword Alerts" to get into conversation in your target area.Seeya around!

Based on what I've seen across multiple markets, it might take you getting 100 incoming leads (web or phone) to find 20 real opportunities to land one deal.  

Could you refer me to a web site that will show me the basics to flipping liens.

If that is the type of auction you are targeting you may need to rethink your strategy.  

After that you market the property to your target tenant.

Can someone rather newish to RE target their services by blogging?

If I were you, and looking at Fresno, I would target one of the many college areas.

Again, workflow is seamless and logical.Cons:- Their web development team can put together a nice looking website (at least we think it is!)
