point.if you want to be very successful at this answer the phone if you want to lose lead after lead set it up the way you do it.the hang up might have had 50 homes to sell.this is just so simple its stupid.. who is your demographic.. how many 20 to 30 YO's who are all switched on to google ( I did not even understand what you were talking about google this or that) own real estate with big equity.. simple question who owns real estate with big equity Generally speaking or say 97% of the time.I bought timber ground in Oregon for over a decade from private land owners and Jessica is exactly my target..

But there is sooooo much new construction and opportunities to do a ground-up build (and easy+cheap construction money from local banks).

Unless you are there or know how to get the good deals, have a crew or someone you really trust to supervise the rehab the costs are significantly higher than what the people with boots on the ground pay. 

When a couple of landlords filed a suit against the Council, on the grounds that judges being unelected officials should not be legislating -- (hold your breath, for the incredible insanity yet to come) - the state Assembly stepped up to deliver the coup de grace.SF ***.

It's best to have boots on the ground who can fill you in on the current market.

Macon is a market that requires good boots on the ground.

I have realized that there is a big difference between investing in purpose built Class B or C apartments and trying to develop from the ground up.

Unless you are able to find a pocket/off market mom and pop deal (will take lots of networking and boots on the ground and are increasingly rare) owner financing will not win you many deals.

There are tons of local management companies that could handle everything if I wanted to, or could try to do a lot remote since it isn't that far away and I do have a friend on the ground I may be able to get to be my guy on the ground.    

I'm looking to hit the ground running, so feel free to connect with me too, I'd love input from anyone!
