I'm more interested in the buy and hold, or if the market trends well take advantage of the 1031 exchange.

And a prime example is Pittsburgh, coming from a Steel town to a tech town is a major transformation. 

For a commercial project add the cost of steel (which is up as well), the cost of a fire suppression system, then factoring the Hurricane Harvey bump; development costs are already up and will continue to rise significantly.  

Just invest apartment building on the east side of Cincinnati.Still learning the market now,just wonder what is the trend of the west side?

However some of that could be tied to other trends during that time.BTW east coast is expected to have full power by the weekend according to FPL. 

I really like syndication for geographic and niche diversification if you also like to venture into other areas besides MF apts, but maybe self storage and mobile home parks that have good demographic and supply/demand trends playing into their favor and throw off a lot of cash.  

What are recent construction trends in the hotel industry (such as modular engineering), and why are these trends on the rise now?

My mother is a realtor so she has access to TREND but I’d like to look on my own time.

They will want to see trending and averaging of your business.

Is it steel or copper?
