Any help is apperciated...I am young and willing to soak up the info...and FYI- from all the forums I have been on researching...this site def has the most knowledgable people!!

Its always good to familiarize yourself with the tricks of the trade (because there are TONS) to not only protect yourself, but your investment.A few ways to get involved are:build a relationship with a developer.find ways to service what they need like:Offer Title Services at a discountOffer brokerage serviceStart a Retaining wall, fencing, irrigation companyif your an engineer offer to take a second look at some plansIf your an architect do the sameIf you are an attorney offer some advice on contractual obligationsIf your an analyst, draw out some cash flowsIf your an accountant, offer to help, create JE's Adjustments, filing, etc.If you have a knack for construction, get out to the sites and look around.If you are good public speaker, get in front of the County officials and pitch a project to the county.Look for the meetings in the county and attend a couple of hearings for development approvals...its public.If you are a banker, look at the deals, contact the developers in your area, go meet them, offer services. etc.Development is about getting out there and putting your ear to the ground.

Welcome to the site.

Heard about this site through a podshow and decided to check it out.

Also, one thing that somewhat concerns me is that I'm trying to find average rental price for the building but I can't seem to find much except this one ad for a studio that shows up everywhere (on all the rental sites).

This is an amazing site with wonderful resources.

It started off with a very motivational background which certainly pulls your interest in.The find it chapter was extremely helpful it came up with good techniques and it told you how to put together your "team".The Fix it part also had great insider tips, different styles, ways to maximize profit.The flip it part was a little vague, there was good detail in closing a contract but it seemed to be lacking a few things and just touched over other more important parts.I'd definately recommend the book it does a great overall background in flipping from start to finish.

I would like to know from the more experienced investors on this site what your investment strategy is in this changing market.Will you still be rehabbing & selling, or buying & holding?

If you doubt my words on this please search the archives on this and other investment sites!

It is specifically designed architecturaly, as a Hotel first and foremost with Hotel Style Suites which are normally larger than regular residential units.
