/Griscom StreetNorth: Cheltenham Ave.East: Tackawanna/Charles/Valley StreetIf the allure of the tax breaks associated with the zones attracts developers, a byproduct of their investments is that the properties in these areas will appreciate.

In the meantime I'm beefing up the stocks.

I have been there and they couldn't cut through the beef and had to call the regional office in Kansas City for a determination (in my favor, BTW).

Because of the drought across the U.S. many crops and cattle were affected.The shortages happened months ago but reserve supplies have been worked through.Now as demand is the same but with limited supply certain items beef,corn,etc. is going to really rise.It has been going up in small increments but will go up in bigger chunks soon.Smart restaurants are looking at what is not rising or is minimal in increase and trying to create flavor dishes so that their price margins don't go up and the profit shrinks.They still might use some of the products increasing in price but with less quantity in the dish to cut costs.This is why for instance if I buy a restaurant business I would adjust down the stated profit model to compensate for the coming higher food costs unless I knew I had a fixed food contract and the supplier could not go up on me.My background before triple net investing and apartments was commercial land development so I find your assembling of parcels interesting and would like to hear more about it and your plans.

I plan to use the $$$ for flips and/or to beef up my cash reserves a little.

I don't mind making that claim as I know the market well enough to know there is more cash (if I needed to raise it), then deals that would come my way.But I don't have any desire to get into a comment beef so I'll simply wish you the best of luck in your own business and leave it at that.

Simple roof structure and foundation structure, so repairing / beefing it up is easy.What's different is the ceilings are often cracked and sagging. 

@Charles Borrelli, why your beef with me?

Vero has been supplying electricity to it's residents at exorbitant rates, in order to beef up the general fund for years.  

The byproduct of my goals is to provide quality homes for buy or rent to individuals.
