The data that I pulled from MLS just a couple days ago shows that the average DOM has increased by about 1 month since I started keeping track of it earlier this year. 

I'm a fairly new investor myself and a brand new real estate broker here in Northwest Indiana. 

From my perspective, in terms of building an REI portfolio, the best bet is to spread your capital over a couple solid cash flow properties and let your tenants pay down your loans over time.

I've gotten a couple since then. 

A couple of weeks later, after someone else had walked, I resubmitted an offer to them based on what the numbers should have been based on the condition of the property and they accepted.After a while, you can just about judge whether something is a deal, or potential deal, or not just from some pictures, the price, and an understanding of the geography on the ground.

@Nicholas LohrI highly recommend you listen to BP Podcast episode 286 from a couple of weeks ago. 

I found a good deal where I can make a couple grand.

There are plenty of other parts of town with good schools too - this is just a start.There's also lots of flipping activity ITP, targeting young professionals and married couples with no kids yet.

I recently exterior painted a couple of my SF rentals.
