BP,I live in an area immediately outside of Jacksonville, FL that is growing very rapidly.

Hello BP Community,My name is Conor McInerney and I am a Grand Rapids native and real estate investor.

Look at Tesla, which is growing rapidly as one example. 

I am looking at single family rehab properties in Grand Rapids, Cedar Springs and Ionia Michigan.

I'm just trying to balance them with the evolution of my RE holdings. 

I'm looking for references for hard/private money for my flip in Grand Rapids, MI   I'd prefer to work with someone local but open to other suggestions if the terms are good.  

As for that correction, I have no idea, and I haven't been in this game long enough to see, but the rapid appreciation I see in certain areas of my market is a little bit scary - great for flippers, but kind of scary for some of the buyers I'm working with a the moment.

In all the rapidly developing areas surrounding Austin, they are throwing up subdivisions, sometimes with homes that have foundation issues before the homes are complete.  

It sounds like you want a market with a history of very poor appreciation that will suddenly turn the corner and start appreciating at a rapid clip starting the day after you close escrow.

Due to the rapid appreciation in the area, as one exit strategy, I would be open to selling in 2-3 yrs.
