Wow, thanks for the great advice Rick! 

There is an option for Real Estate Consultant so I guess I could put that to give them advice on what to do with their Real Estate needs. 

I was wondering if anyone has set up their business with Google Places before? I did for my business however when it asks what Category my business is, it doesn't give the option to put Real Estate Investing. I'm not a Real Estate Agency so I don't want to put that down because I don't have my license and I don't want people to think I am an agent when I am not. Has anyone set this up yet who isn't an agent and what did you put? Thank you. 

I def posted my answer! :)

We were looking to do a total renovation of each unit (because it needs it) so making that list is a good idea however, everything in the home needs to be completely renovated and it only makes sense to do one unit at a time even though the floor might be on the "wait" list compared to the bathroom being completely renovated to make it back in working order again in turn working on different units at different times. 

I don't think the apartment is discounted much considering the repairs needed when I compared it to others in the area Full market value on this house is 135,000. However, I do think your suggestion is a great idea for another property in that case where the renovations aren't so extensive. I will def keep that in mind. Thank you. 

That is very true Amanda!!

However, I just answered my own question right after I posted, so I really want to delete my post so when I look back in 5 years I won't hit myself in the head for not figuring it out before posting. :)

Now that I think about it, if I'm answering the question what is my target market...who am I selling to, it wouldn't be location then, it would be targeted audience then. Well I just answered my own question! LOL!! 

So I'm taking a small business course online and we are at the Marketing piece of the course. The question presented to us is:

How do you believe your market can be segmented: age, gender, occupation, etc.? 

I get so tripped up on questions it's ridiculous, but I'm not sure how to answer this question. My initial response is location. I am segmenting it on location, specifically where I want to invest at like a specific zip code or city. Then I was thinking well maybe it means markets like distressed sellers, fsbo ads, probate, tired landlords, etc. 

The second question to the assignment is which one of these segments do you think will be the most profitable for you small business and why? I could name the 4 cities that I was doing my market research on here or I could choose one the the target audience such as absentee landlords and elaborate there OR would it be both?? 

So I guess my question is...which is right? location or the others listed OR both?? 

I'm just seeing these replies guys! Thanks for the info! I do have evernote, however, I need to learn how to use it!! Now I have a really good reason to get on that. Thank you!!
