My biggest road block is going to be finding properties that can be profitable, mainly because I am so new and honestly don't know where to look!

This will serve two main purposes for me: First of all, I will be establishing a network of resources I will be using to go about my own investments in the time ahead, as well as resources to recommend to investor clients whom I work with.

In buying any property, you cost basis is the main factor and the lower your financing cost the lower the overall price of the project.  

I'm from NYC (Bronx) but I invest in Philadelphia because of the potential it has and mainly because it meets my criteria. 

My name is Jason and I'm in college, my friend came to me about the idea to do real estate after learning more about it i found its something i want to really do as a career I mainly want to flip house and be a landlord.

Make sure to listen to all the BP podcasts, read the articles on the main blog and be active in these forums to learn a ton very quickly about any topic in real estate you want to know more about.This is also a great place to meet people that can be assets to your business.

Mainly for income and appreciation until 2008.....

takes time to sell 7 lotsYou may have zoning issues - may need curbs/sidewalk/guttersWith that many lots that close together is the main property your rehabing going to be an asset or a limitation to who or what is built near it Could re zone and split it and list it and let new buyer either buy house by itself and multiples of lots and give them a price break on lots

@Annie Thompson  I think one of the main functions of the site is to compare actual product side by side and compare cities and see what kinds of returns.. are out their from the providers that post their inventory  its real inventory that can be bought and you don't need to go to a squeeze page to get the super secret inventory lists LOL..I would not base a buy decision solely on  online reviews.. 

Most lenders are mainly asset based.
