However if you are in the 300-500 range you can go to quite a few markets easily.And if funds aren't an issue I would look at investing in your hometown that way you can personally interact with all the folks along the way and learn a bit quicker.Best  of luck and keep digging!

Again, the BiggerPockets store has some books for this or you can learn by watching podcasts, reading blogs, and interacting on the forum.

However, even if you don't have a network of investors to market the property to, if you can find a successful wholesaler in your area, you can offer to split the profit with him/her if he/she can find an end buyer.Your best bet is probably to start going to local real estate clubs and interacting with other investors.

You are also missing some elements of the net, after-tax return you are getting from the properties.

I mean if it takes 30 offers to get the first property, man my wife and I are gonna end up with a couple more kids if we're going to be interacting this much, sheesh.What are the masses finding with the buy and hold properties?

Positive trade lines with history are some of the best elements to having a great credit score.

The common element for all of these different industries is they experience boom and bust cycles every few years.

Albert,Seems that the criteria you defined for the notes you are looking for are correct, and focus is one of the key elements to help you in your way to success, never mind which road you have chosen.You will find the notes business as challenging, interesting and with huge potential - I have acquired few of my own lately.Finding good vendors, each one specialize in different note investment segment, is another key factor to be able to succeed in this business.I am still on my way to reach the 20 notes milestones, but I do think that what Scott said about being able to manage 20 notes by yourself seems to be the maximum you can handle.Wish you to be in the point in which your capacity is not enough to manage all of the notes you will have and to expand and hire more people/tools to help you to do the next step and expand even further.Good luck,Eran

Their data seems to be on point for my area.VRBO's push to limit host/guest interaction is  certainly an attempt to keep users from making transactions outside of the platform.

@Carrie CavinsA web forum is not the best place for interactive education.
