On the flip side the clients I fund in my land deals are doing very very well in the foothill subdivision 50 miles or so west of the springs.. but thats the land game buy low sell high.. cant wholesale that stuff it needs to go on MLS to marketed and turn around time is generally 90 to 180 days but nice margins for my clients ..

I've talked with some other investors who had bad experiences with other agents and reading some of the stories here makes it even clearer the right team is paramount.If you decide to look at West Michigan feel free to reach out and I'll give you any data you need.  

The Columbia market -- specifically West Cola, Cayce, North Main, toward Camden, etc. -- appears to have some properties that would cash flow well, but may be limited on long-term appreciation.I'm looking to stick to market-rate properties.  

Some solid areas to look at are:Riverside, Avondale, Murray Hill, San Marco, San Jose, Orange Park, southern part of west side, east Arlington, pockets of the Northside.I’m on my phone so a little tough to go in great detail, but you can message me and we can find a time to chat if you’re interested.Chris - thanks for the reply.

The West coast one, with full details, is at http://www.wildlandsinc.com/ and they're actively looking for more project land. 

I love those west Chicago Suburbs like Oak Park, River Forest, and Forest Park @Atul Mohlajee!

Check out areas like Old Brooklyn, Brooklyn Centre, Cudell, Jefferson and West Boulevard. 

Phoenix metro is essentially East Valley good, West Valley not as good. 

BiggerPockets website is good for the American market (mostly) but you will also find lots of Canadians on here and some good info on the Canadian market just by searching.There are worthwhile local West Coast resources for learning real estate investing in general and the Canadian and Vancouver markets in particular.

I own all of my investment properties here and work with a lot of out-of-state investors in both the east and west coast that love investing here for the turnkey and BRRRR opportunities that we have here.
