A friend recently asked me to compare two Houston zip codes, 77008 and 77063, from an investment perspective.Now, I'm a big fan of Texas, but the first thing I said to him was that the weather is HORRENDOUS.

Will it reduce my cost of living when compared to renting?

It also provides context for comparing their previous rent to what you’re charging.3.

The average price per land for urban infill going 6-12 stories high on a higher density product is about 5 million an acre up to about 25 million an acre. downtown market premiums I've seen at the highest are 1200 a sq ft. in columbus you can get land about 1.5 million per acre downtown at best price, sells for about 600 a sq ft max, very little competition compared to miami. tampa I didn't really look at too much because miami has 22 zip codes that you can build at least 6 or 8 stories on and just a much better landscape than other markets. tampa is a little bit bigger than columbus but in my opinion more of a suburban market. miami is landlocked and very limited so everything is in redevelopment. both are amazing opportunities but the barrier to entry is much higher in Miami with the smallest plots of land infill going for at least 1.5 million I would say in areas like Wynwood Norte, Wynwood, etc. we looked all over but prefer east of 95 due to the condominium opportunities. multifamily is very strong in both markets but the condo premiums make it almost silly not to do one from the start and the use of deposits versus a single asset lease up and disposition is a longer sales cycle than the condo buildings being sold out prior to completion.

@Jay HinrichsAfter the closing keynote they announced the location of BP2025 and Jay will be happy to hear it is in Las Vegas (he has advocated for Las Vegas at least a few times).I will say I enjoyed the lower attendance of this year compared to Orlando.  

Overall, would you recommend Sacramento compared to other U.S. markets, considering both rental income potential and appreciation prospects?

I am not sure if anyone ever cared to pull together the data but I am quite confident in saying a study that compared licensed to unlicensed contractors would tell the story of unlicensed contractors seeking greater deposits in relation to total project costs than those with all proper licenses.

For tenants to continue paying comparable rent, new companies must move into the city and create replacement jobs with similar wages and skill requirements.

If done this way, the investor could use this as a powerful tax strategy to spread the taxable event over years, lowering the effective tax rate faced from the taxable events.I have heard professionals compare it to an installment agreement, but with more control.

Plus, with fewer building structures to upkeep compared to apartment complexes, your repair expenses remain relatively low.Mobile home parks also have the potential for high returns.
