How will being next to a supermarket, a post office, a bank, a popular restaurant help?

Advertising properties under contract, unless licensed, is ILLEGAL in FL.475.42 and 475.43 (in case nobody has ever looked at my posts) LOLIf not licensed, the only way to LEGALLY "wholesale" is to own it...and then call yourself anything you want "wholesaler" "flipper" "super marketeer"...whatever

That particular place is super close to a main road and discount supermarket.

For example, a mainstay of shopping centers is the grocery store, supermarket and/or pharmacy.

There is a lot of open land compared to Bergen, too, so you get more property, a lot of the towns have hiking trails and lakes, so it's a more rural feel (by no means rural... they have stores and supermarkets everywhere, but just relatively) and slower pace, so a spec house actually may do well up there if you can find the right property.

That 12 months would not be a whole lot of time to also support market appreciation in any significant amount so that the refi LTV was still within the 75%-80% range for the lender.I have a strong inclination that such situations are very few and far between and would likely rely on a few years of super market appreciation like we have had in the recent past (and very little chance of that continuing for any future plays of this nature). 

Supermarkets are good too.  

Post-crash, buyer's market everywhere, prices were down 40%, or more in great residential areas such as Laguna Hills. 4Plexes in Anaheim were being bought like candies in super market.

I heard the newest key indicators are super markets, public transportation, co-working spaces in the area, decrease in crime.

@Thomas Hickey Starbucks;-)When we were in Austin a couple of weeks ago, I believe the markets that foreshadowed progre$$ were MT SuperMarket and Trader Joes.
