This is another reason why they have no interest in killing the golden goose of tourism.I've been investing close to the 5th Avenue because that's where people want to be and that's where I want to be when I go there.

I have never seen anyone do that and that's Golden!!

I've been investing for over 10 years and also have a Realtors license and I still have the same problem...getting the golden number.Experiences and reviews of paid sites please.

Things don't normally cash flow here (appreciation is the golden ticket here instead, but then you are into the category of speculation), but prices are super high right now.

I was wondering more specifically what it’s like for people that are new home builders vs rehabbers, if you all approach it with a similar idea and looking for similar margins in mind in general...in essence, are you still typically trying to get your lot purchase + build costs between 70-75%-ish of the after-build value (not that that is a golden rule, but just for sake of sample) similar to a rehabber?  

If you have holding capacity ur golden but if I had to sell in 2009 I would have lost my shirt .

@Raven Henderson thanks, this info was golden!
