I’ll be trying to do something similar on my next property although I may try to stay under my remaining second tier entitlement and put 0 down.

Are there any areas that we should stay away from (higher crime, etc)?

I am interested in doing the same with some of my friends but I want to stay in Queens.

Of course he’s been around a long time and is smart as hell but still, it’s a business and really some of the things Martin mentioned, if you don’t do them do you think you will stay in business long?

I would stay away from that area.

I appreciate your comment and will stay focused on forcing appreciation/tracking numbers.

Stay in dallas area and would like to start getting involved, meeting new people and learning more.

We will be driving there and staying at a VRBO condo with our two small kids.

Stay away from the big REIA as they are mostly sales pitches and not much good info.I'm not sure what your level of experience is as a handyman but as a former contractor turned investor I will tell you that renovating and flipping are not the same thing.
