You develop relationships with a handle of people that are creating notes and you help them recapitalize, it is like a conveyor belt of deals coming to you.  

And they execute their investment strategy/model (develop, resell, hold, etc.) effectively to generate a return and/or equity and make a living.

I have experience in single family fix and flip, 1-4 family rentals, small apartments (10-30 unit), 100+ unit apartments, development, commercial retail, industrial and office.

There are many new developments going up but traffic in some areas are horrific, especially at peak. 

McKinney and Princeton have been growing a lot and it is a good place to invest, but it is always related to what you are looking to achieve in a rental investment, appreciation or cash flow.At this time that area does not offer a big cash flow and due to the amount of development going on there, rental demand has declined a bit.In any case you have to make an analysis case by case.

I personally like to buy in towns/neighborhoods in which no new builds are possible within 10 miles because all the land is developed.

@Chris Morris have ALWAYS seen bad "deals" from rookie wholesalers that really don't understand what they are doing to provide value to the industry.It's getting worse because the real estate market has recovered from the 2010 Crash, yet many are still using tactics & methods developed during this time.Everyone in the industry needs to go back and look at what was being done BEFORE 2010 and start using those methods, updating them with current technology.

OK being a life long CA and selling and developing land here for 50 years..

There is so much growth here - population growth, job growth, and companies moving and developing here.
