@Robert Richards for me the unit economics don't work very well at that price point to flip remotely.  

Additionally, I will be implementating four very big and aggressive Models (Economic Model, Lead-Generation Model, Budget Model, and lastly the Organization Model) soon after I start based on my knodledge, drive, determination, motivation, amongst other things.Although I wanted to provide a slight background on what I'm focusing on, where I'm coming from, as well as where my head is at, this post will specifically be focusing on the question I have for all of you BP folks that pertains to the Lead-Generation Model.Goal: I'm looking to reach a market of approximately 16,000 potential clients through mailing lists within the first year of business. 

The first thing you want to do when evaluating a market is to look at economic and demographic factors such as population and job growth and then look at what kind of returns you can get based on price/rent ratios and operating costs like insurance and taxes.

Straight economics says drop it so I don't have to pay another month.

I am proficient in data mining and business intelligence, and could make great use of those skills if I have a solid data source (demographic, economic, regional/location sales history, etc).I am eager to start my real estate investing journey, and start sharing knowledge with y'all!

Ultimately, the economic prospects of your deal and the projected returns articulated to your investors should drive your decision about equity splits, the various fees to charge, and the magnitude of the fees. 

A place like San Francisco which has a lot of security due to job diversity might be different than Detroit which has felt great economic pain due to their previous reliance on one major industry.This is just the beginning of a very complex conversation that can go deep into economics, but I hope this little bit of information helps you Armando !

With hard money lenders, you aren't dealing with federal regulations and international large-scale economic competition.  

We're going to try to dip into the IN market (South Bend) a bit more, as it is just larger and shows more economic stability.  

I may be favor Austin a bit because I grew up in the area, but if you look at some of the Economic indicators, I think that the next 20 years will be huge for Austin!
