Jake, thanks for the advice!

Hello BP Community:

After months of reading and reviewing the BP forums, I'm still struggling to define my niche. I enjoy learning about different ways people are leveraging real estate to reach their goals. However, my learning continues to pull me in different directions. 

Things I've been considering: wholesaling, pre-foreclosures, auction, holding vs fix and flip. I feel like I'm all over the place. I live in Sacramento, CA but considering investing in Detroit area. I'm from Detroit and much more familiar with the neighborhoods. After reading the forums it's become clear that Detroit is a renter market. Maybe that answers my question about niche. Maybe the greater Sacramento area is the best option for me to start. I feel like I'm all over the place.

Is out of state investment a bad decision for newbies? 

I would love to learn how, why and what helped you define your niche?

Thanks in advance BP community!

Thanks Taylor!

Nancy,

I'm a new investor and I've considered the niche of wholesaling. What has been your biggest success in finding out what investor will buy?

Love the quote! 

Hello,

Today listening to BP podcast #3 something very interesting was shared. I was amazed by the idea of subject to financing. I'm still a little confused as to why a seller would allow you to take over their financing. It seems like they taken on bulk of the risk/liability. 

Is this a real strategy? How do you identify and approach sellers interested that will find this appealing? 

Thanks in advance BP community!

Taylor,

Thank you for sharing your story. I've been on and off Bigger Pockets but haven't taken action. Your story is very inspiring. I guess if one Taylor can do it, so can another! How did you define flipping as your niche? Are there any particular strategies that you wouldn't mind sharing about finding deals?

Thanks in advance Taylor and again thanks for the motivation!

Tyler Cauble thank you so much for the advice. I love google alerts it's a great way to stay up to date on recent news! What are the characteristics you look for in a quality realtor? Lastly, any books you recommend that helped inspire you?

Hello, I'm working to understand my local market. What should I be reading as a new investor (magazines, blogs, google alerts, etc)? Excited to hear how you learned your Market!
