I too live in a highevpeiced market and do quite well, even considering the stiff competition.

I'm fairly sure of the answer, but double checking.I'm currently working with a friend of a friend, who does everything from flipping, to owning rentals, etc.

I have done many remodeling or flips adding great value to properties but the profit has been always for my clients.I finally decided to start doing the same thing I have always done, but as a real-state investor this time where there are some new variables to learn.to start I want to do some flips and I'm trying to define where.Because I live and work in NYC, where is almost impossible to start investing, I was thinking according to what I read and research; Newark, Jersey city, or even upstate NY where I spend some time could be some of the options.I'm looking for wholesalers or investor friendly real-state people to help me find my first deal.please don't hesitate to contact me with deals of for anything you need.Carlos

Hello,I'm looking for an investor-friendly real estate agent in the Columbus, Bowling Green, Toledo area that can help me purchase my first investment property.  

Their lending is more friendly to investors.  

Hey BP friends!  

Now this partner of mine also happens to be my best friend for the better part of 25 years and I want to try and keep it that way.

This is work to be sure, but it will be worth it, because you'll end up with deals that nobody else even knows are available--no competition.

If they are looking for this kind of deal, they should talk to friends or family members.

I generally check Rentometer and HotPads, and then use a property management company or an investor-friendly real estate agent as my third source.
