These are primarily A areas due to the schools and proximity to city center hotspots.

I noticed $750 is the hot spot, but can rent for up to 850 (area is a hot market and new developments around this city).

Im born and raised in pottstown but have been focusing on other markets such as allentown and phoenixville which have really became hot spots.

Golden is another hot spot but has already been so improved.

Seeing trends in NYC, I have started getting into the mindset of following the artists to find the next hot spot. 

You just named all the "hot spots" in Columbus. :)  But please let me know if I can help in any way!  

I'm wanting to find out which areas are the hot spots right now for fix and flip and/or buy and hold.  

From the research that I have done about the surrounding area:- It seems like University Park is a hot spot. - I did notice an airport nearby, so possibly the property is 'centrally' located.- From a street view, going up and down the blocks, I couldn't tell if this property is in a highly dense location, or just simply located in the projects. - 1 Bedroom / 1 Bathroom rent is 500.00Look forward to thoughts and opinions 

I am under the impression that PF and RP aren't hotspot markets right now.

for each deal they could make an 3 to 7k assignment.. with the proper backing they are making 20 to 30k per same lead by actually being a real real estate investor. what happens in many of these wholesaling / assigning contract hot spots is the competition as you state is fierce and people going around them  or they cant get it closed in time because they have no money etc.
