Most of us doing it a long time have developed systems so that we handle these things efficiently.  

Plus the developer will take care of maintenance.

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.  

.: wholesaling is a dishonest business of people misleading sellers to believing they can buy their property, when they actually have no intent nor means to do so.Yes, and some developers use T1-11 and wallboard from China.

Storage units, industrial, raw land, development (a form of value add), zoning changes (a form of value add), office, hotel/motel, NNN, etc.  

If the investor is paying cash then it could be more negotiable.If the investor is a developer this is probably all out the window. 

There's potential for both moderate appreciation and solid rent demand as the area continues to develop.

Madison also has had tons of development lately in higher end apartments too so stay away from anything that would compete against them.

If anyone wants to partner up to get into some larger multi-family units, let me know. cavan, I'll shoot you a PM we do ground up multi in columbus as well as land development for larger multifamily with underpriced land 

Also areas where you have trusted family and friends that can give some feedback on local growth areas, areas that might be deteriorating or areas that are development embattled.
