Hi Liz,Navarre has certainly become a hotspot and with the new base being planned, it will only get better. 

Texas is a huge hot spot right now.

Not a crime hotspot.

I am currently in the process of building a team and working with agents to fully understand my local market and 'hot spots' in my area.With the resources (credit, cash, income to debt ratio) i have, I plan to start with a property to occupy and renovate for the mandatory time some programs state to classify as owner occupied, then depending on the market rent or sell in hopes to gain the capital I need to really start my investing career.

Phoenix was quite the hot spot there for a while.

Usually these reps lock up stuff and then put multiple clients on it.First you need to see if your land is sitting on a hotspot.

I took the RDPD two day training the past two days where the Rich Dad RE investment software that shows all of the hot spots in any city and extensive training are promoted.

I'm not surprised one bit about being held at gunpoint but, being a native to Detroit, I'm pretty aware of the "hot spots" :)@Nick Keesee Holding would be amazing but, i agree, the price for upkeep along with the price for rehab would be pretty high.
