I'm in the middle of one now that I bought for $215k 6 months ago.

I'm in the middle of 2 projects if you want to come to the homes and check them out.

If you are a land-banker intent on making this work one strategy might be to buy in middle Fountaingrove.

If there are even Cash Buyers for this kind of deal.So the basics of this deal are the following:The property is in Fallbrook, CA; in the Morro Hills Community.The property is 13 acres large, right in the middle of a "high end" single-family residential area; whose properties average between the 950k-1.2M pricetag(Each property is just about 2-3 acres large with these prices).

We're in an aging situation now when many retirees in their middle sixties are still caring for their ninety-year-old parents.

Investing in real estate in places like NYC or other high cost markets is a game exclusive to the upper middle class and wealthy.

This assumes solid middle-class income and a decent amount of equity in a current primary residence. 

I am encouraged by @AJ Leman data, which also points to the fact that more and more higher middle class and retired people are becoming renters, which would argue in favour of your suggestion to go for higher end properties.

The goal is to have an attractive option for single family detached workforce housing- a middle ground between apartment living and single family homes.

Does anyone know any good surveyors in Middle TN?
