Read my blog here on BP for the article.

I recommend you read this article I wrote for Bigger Pockets titled How to Invest in Real Estate Before Turning 21.

However, I read this article tonight discussing Mobile's market.

Here is 2 articles I have written for BP on this subject. https://www.biggerpockets.com/renewsblog/2015/11/2...https://www.biggerpockets.com/renewsblog/2015/10/1...Good luck!

There is an article in today's Crain's Chicago Business about investors flipping condos in downtown Chicago.  

Everyday I'm reading articles stating that another recession is coming and a housing collapse is all but a sure thing in the next year or so.

Primarily the articles about realizing that flying with the others in economy is barfmuck compared to the silver-lined first class.

Last quarter there was an article from one of the real estate magazines that had Dayton OH (where I live) as the number 2 metro city in the USA for ROI!!!! 

I would want to see rehab estimates from a qualified and verifiable contractor or projects you've completed including numbers.Every comp within 1/2 mile within the last 6 months.Seeing how long rehabbed properties take to sell in the area is key.All that said, BP has an article "10 Questions on Hard Money Loans" and Brandon Turner from BP has a video entitled "Hard Money Lenders - Where to Find Them and 4 Tips to Get Your Loan Funded".

This is their alternative.Check out this article from CNN about Venezula - http://money.cnn.com/2016/04/12/news/economy/venez...Inflation rate of 500% by the end of the year.
