@Gabriel Hulett I used to live by New Port Richey!

For right now though, I'd love to meet and connect with other investors, realtors, and anyone else in the Prince George's County, MD area that I can learn from.

I have 4 acres that use to be a U Pick strawberry farm , It was my neighbors house , the old guy would be out there pulling weeds all day on Saturdays  , he was a very simple guy , worked a job , raised 4 kids in a 700 sq ft house , he made some money from it , but it was work .

The homes in my town are at an all-time low and we're expecting a boom in our economy in the next 10-20 years since a port is being built now which will run along the east coast (1500 jobs have already been created)My question is: what should i be researching right now to make the best choice possible this time next year?

My family owns a construction company with heavy machinery and equipment; our business works mainly as a contractor of public infrastructure (highways, bridges, ports, sewages, etc) for government, with some private work as warehouses, schools, and so on.We want to take advantage of our long time expertise in construction and machinery to expand to real estate development, as we think (not sure) that might be of some value to the table. 

Hey Cole, The house is 2219 sq ft and is a U-shape with a patio area in the back in the middle of the "U".

And maybe sell that or start out a rental port folio from that.

I have a friend who bought a property and wound up having to tear down a car port, because it was originally built without a permit.

Hi Marco, I am also a rehabber in New Port Richey and I have my license too. 

Thanks All - interestingly enough- I started with State Farm in the property's community (Port Lavaca Tx) they had a company (forget the name) who writes vacant property.
