I understand wanting to have multiple sources of potential leads.

Not sure if it would be easier to start local and generate some income first or just dive right in the Florida market.

Hey everyone, I'm looking at making a deal on a property in Vista, CA for a potential Vacation Rental/AirBnB that, based on what I've seen should generate good cash flow.

I am a landlord/wholesaler in the hot Grand Rapids, Michigan market and came across a lead that I wanted some input on.   

Usually it leads to mistakes and road blocks that could easily be avoided through better preparation.

I went by to look at one of my absentee owner leads on my list of homes to make offers on.

I went by to look at another absentee owner lead.

I feel like I am currently shoping for the buyers I have first, and then with marketing dollars, can grow leads for sellers.

The few leads that we did get, their asking price was so far from what we could offer, that it wasn't even funny.

Lots of wealthy foreigners have speculatively driven NY real estate prices unnaturally high because they want to own a "piece of America"...investing in places like NY is more of a big game hunt for status rather than actually investing to generate passive income...And investing in houses is a fools game in general.
