But flying one requires more homework than looking at a diagram of flight dynamics.You'll need to understand about the property value by looking at comparable sales, determine the equity by looking up the existing loans and liens, determine state of title per recorder's office, see who has legal interests in the property and decide what opportunities may exist.

Do your homework and speak to an attorney first.

Also check out the start here page for some great quick links including the Ultimate Beginners Guide As for your question - I highly recommend the following- network like crazy, never know who knows what and where they invest - learn locally but ALSO connect with Florida investors to begin learning - develop a solid business plan and know the sections that will require tailoring depending on your investing region- assess the investment type and implications if you move (flips, wholesales, LTO, and rentals will all have different implications for investment duration - learn as much as you can (BP blog, forums, podcast are a great start) and don't be afraid to jump in once you have done your homework-Keith 

I would like to see examples of how other people started off, especially with math and numbers to see what i am dealing with.

If you have a reliable list of investors who have the money to purchase it, all of your homework is done, and the numbers make sense, it will work.

Hi Mike,Those numbers look great and it seems like you have done your homework.

I am saying that if you are going to invest out of state, you need to do your homework and have local market knowledge or find a good wholesaler, property manager or turn key operator who does and who can tell you what to buy and more importantly what NOT to buy when it comes to C-class.

Just do the math to see if it's worth it.

There are great calculators online that do the math for you and show you what your PITI would be and they give you a solid idea of what you can expect your ROI to be.Hope that answers your question.

I am glad you are sending out mailers but you should be doing your homework in the meantime bc now you have a potential lead and no idea what to do.
