This is because you need capital for long periods of time, making it tougher to find lenders or equity partners.A lot of buy-and-hold investors will also have a more active strategy (real estate or something else) that allows them to generate additional income to speed up their ability to build a rental portfolio.  

Apologies if this is convoluted - I've been giving myself a 24 hour crash course, so trying to get up to speed and still gaps in my knowledge.

The Miami World Center will certainly help to speed redevelopment of Overtown. 

thanks Patrick well hopefully you can get me up to speed!

They seem to think prices of properties will start to drop.So if you can rest (3 jobs at break neck speed can cost you health wise) plus you want to live to see the fruits of your labor and start looking around in 12 months you might be in better shape to make serious moves.Just a thought.Good luck in your investing!
