The house looks beautiful, very cool.

You know Fred up the street is about to open a new bar and grill and all of the artists are moving into that area nobody thinks about.Its my personal belief, but one of our advantages as investors is that we have a great relationship with our contractors. 

Having said that, I am starting to see the market cool a little bit.

people will feel cool and love telling the "water cooler" story when they get back home.

why sit on the side line and wait for a crash that may never happen .. and probably if it does wont be near the magnatude of the last one.There are multiple different types of investments in and around real estate other than being a landlord.. so maybe we confuse the developer who just did a subdivision and flipped the plat to LEnnar and made 2 million in it in 16 months with 150k into it.. .. those are pretty cool homeruns.. and done all the time.. but you need the skill set to set into the guy or gal that can source a property that a company like DR or Lennar will buy you need the strength to talk the farmer into letting you have an option on the property you have to have the Risk tolarnce to put up 150k and maybe lose it... becasue you can t flip that plat.. you have to have contacts at the big builders to get to their land ACK guys or gals.. but you put that all together and thats what a homerun looks like. guys that buy at courthouse steps  hit tons of base hits..

Hey Alexander,Great to meet you. out of state investing sounds really cool.

@Gabe Hall awesome man cool to get a local response :) The duplex is actually in Mount Vernon, but the housing shortage is real up there too!

@Steve McRory -  "And because they already know the depth of the backwards and antiquated mindset they see"So when you use oddball numbers it's cool, but when buyers/sellers do it it's backwards and antiquated???

There are so many cool and exciting things going on.

Realistically, those are some pretty pricey cities on your list so buying might be tricky, but the plan sounds cool.
