I have some contacts over there and also own a 4 unit there.I must agree with Mike though, you should focus on working on your credit and bringing in income.

Don't get caught in the trap of focusing all of your energies on improving on your weaknesses, Instead focus on becoming stronger, in areas that you are already strong at.

Hey there Smooth . . . so you've decided to focus on the foreclosure area of real estate investing?

and trying to gain as much info as possible.However, I interned once at a relocation company, SIRVA relocation, and every client we had was atleast somewhat motivated, who owned a home needed to have his/her home sold and needed to buy a new home in their new location OR they were looking for a place to rent....Wouldn't it be a good idea to contact either there relocation companies or probably a better person would be the real estate brokers who focus on servicing these clients?

Dhinderliter,It sounds like you are focusing on doing rehabs either for resale, or to keep as rentals.

Most of the investors here seem to advise to just read all the posts, read books, get organized, discover the type of investing you are most comfortable with, focus on that - and dive in!

I've started moving most of my focus out of mortgages into real estate as well.

No offense was implied by saying we are getting pretty far from the main focus of the forum.Tell me how a recession will impact OH?

Because of how the California market is, my partner and I have been focusing on investing in emerging markets where you can still cash flow with very minimal capital.

Our philosophy here is to focus on the individual, not their company.
