For instance I was seeing insane growth and development in pasco county, wesley chapel areas outside of tampa, and actually had a hell of a time finding industrial space in Bradenton FL, so at least on the commercial side of things from my limited experience there didn't seem to be a down turn or softening, so its so interesting to here your take on your local market there as well.  

Yup, as an industry it is malleable to be shaped the way and for uses to satisfy individual goals, ambitions, and lifestyles. 

Outside of real estate I am in the construction industry, in Commercial / Residential Roofing.

How will this change the industry?  

Manufactured homes is a great industry.

Also, look into ULI which is a development focused industry group, and likely has chapters in Austin and Houston.

Currently you’re essentially a peewee football kid asking the coach how to run circles around the professional defense. 

I am trying to enter the real estate industry with a rental investment property.

I have spent the past several years studying market trends, analyzing potential investment properties, and building a network of industry experts.I'm specifically looking for a fellow investor located in the New York area who is interested in collaborating on initial buy and flip projects.

its a who ya know industry from what I see.
