I only ask because of the mill and the port there to sustain jobs.

So the initial capital we have now in my eyes and opinion is very important and I want to make sure we invest it with the right things in mind, right strategy, and in a way that is sustainable throughout future real estate investments.- Market = looking for single family homes, 3/2s or 2/1s in try he Philadelphia area since it is relatively close and away from the high NJ taxes.  

And add to that the nuttiest elections we have had here in a llooonnggg llooonnggg time ;)  Any one of these going awry can set off the stock market to a sustained downward spiral.

I think the question comes down to if you can sustain the property or not.

Im trying to learn as much about all the various aspects of investment, as we live in a one size does not fit all world now, adaptability and creativity are key to me, in understanding what are the best ways to handle a real estate investment opportunity.Im here to learn and network with other investors so I can take advantage of the wealth of knowledge and turn it into a sustainable business. 

Urban sprawl just doesn't equate to true, sustainable growth to me.  

Looks like if you really want to make good sustained income, opening a RE school would be the safest bet!

Glad that you are able to sustain your property as a rental.

It will help you grow much faster and will be more sustainable because you're focusing on relationships vs. transactions. 

@Abha SethiI have my doubts about the long-term viability, in terms of sustained growth, of the SA market.
