For those of you that remember me, it's been quite some time ago that I posted on Investor Deal Diaries on the projects we had going in Orange County, CA (San Clemente, and Capo Beach - Dana Point) For those that don't know me, we build spec, new construction. 

Thanks Dana!  

@Dana Sarcona my bets would be on Hackensack - there’s quite a bit of investment going on in the downtown and there’s big plans for a revitalization- prices are still moderate and there’s easy accessibility to NYC transportationThat’s where I would be looking.

I bought this one for my house over three years ago and it's been great: https://www.homedepot.com/p/MOEN-Walden-Single-Handle-Standard-Kitchen-Faucet-with-Side-Sprayer-in-Spot-Resist-Stainless-87427MSRS/203583446For my rentals I always try and buy Moen or Delta (I don't buy the $150 fixtures for my rentals but if you're looking for something under $200 I recommend the one listed above).

@Dana WhickerThe point is that there would be a lot fewer real estate transactions.Real Estate Investors will be doing fewer transactions and keeping smaller properties longer.Larger properties will not sell as fast.The amount of capital available for real estate investment purchases will be diminished by the about of taxes paid, about 20% long term capital gains and up to 43% short term. 

Originally posted by @Dana Whicker:Serious first question which may seem odd but will help advise - Do you anticipate your kids going to an Ivy league school with no scholarship, or are you thinking Cali State school with partial scholarship, or something in between?

@Dana Whicker, @Nancy Brook, thanks for the tip, I did not think of craigslist as it is mainly used in the US and I thought it was mainly a west coast thing... rent from Zillow doesnt seem too far from what I saw on Craigslist...

It's retirement oriented but very close to Lake Conroe and now the new Margaritaville which is about 20 minutes from here in the Walden area.

@Dana Adams so I hold my license for Indiana (though it's currently inactive).
