You know this and the reason I am saying that I am considering in getting a real state license is the connections, the access to listing off market and possibility of earning commission that I can use to increase my portfolio.I think that being an investor agent will help me build a reputation and that can be good or bad.

Are the new builds for owner/occupants or build to rent?

I guess they have more land to build there so it might reduce the appreciation there?

I have built in the past and I do not understand how anyone can build a house for 250k that will last.As an agent I focus on high end relocation clients and many are positively surprised by the build quality compared to the south.

I personally like the buy-and-hold strategy and we help clients who share this long-term, wealth building mindset. 

@Ella Marie the Pro's are you can build long term wealth, the Cons are you can lose money if you cannot properly quantify risk.
