Does anyone know what a trend/time table of those areas being built and will it eventually be a good location for rental properties?

So Should I wait on the car or just buy my dream car and eventually invest.Thanks!

We eventually bought out 2 of the guys. 

Eventually you're going to end up 1. in court 2. having your reputation as an investor trashed when a seller feels taken advantage of 3. being contacted by your state RE commission for brokering without a license. 

I usually like to pay a 50-100$ fee for the bid depending on size of the home.Then I attach their bid to my presentation, an investor will likely use them for the job eventually. 

I agree with @Kyle A. though, forget about the cars and focus on what will eventually pay for the car.

It was a 1031 exchange and our attorney handled it flawlessly, even when a few wrinkles (tenant not leaving when the lease was up, cash for keys, a cleanup holdback at closing that could have triggered capital gains on the holdback amount).It all eventually worked out for our client's benefit and a big part of that was having a staff attorney.

Read library books about real estate, and save as much money as you can so you can eventually do a deal. 

Looking forward to networking with other investors and eventually helping others.

My specific real estate goal is to be comfortable enough to wholesale and contract with investors and eventually get my realtors license to sale houses.
