If you're willing to expand your area, head out to the Tidewater region and there are some great opportunities in the Hampton Roads, Virginia Beach areas.

Is there any REAL reason in your region that you should be concerned about the economy?

Regional Carpet Care... was originally recommended to me by a janitorial company.

Hi everyone,I am looking for a mortgage broker and real estate lawyer in Toronto area.

Appreciate pointers , and TIPS in Tracy California region.

There's also a massive "development of regional impact", Kelly Park Crossing that is nearing ground breaking on something like 3900 acres over the next 20 years.

Even the cheapest labor regions of the country are going to be hard to build for significantly less than $100/ft2 (not including land). 

You probably also need to check with local or regional banks because the big guys are less likely to work with newer investors/businesses.

ABQ may not be super easy to develop in due to national parks and reservations but its regulatory climate is much warmer (another good reason to buy there, although the whole Southwestern region is spoiled this way - no idea how good they have it).

I called up a regional bank to inquire, but was told they can't do a HELOC on rental property, only a primary residence or summer home.Is that true for all banks or is it dependent on the bank?
