Hi @Daniel Carrillo,Just based on conversation had at various conferences I've attended I think we will see some increased activity later this year.

I have a good credit score (791 based solely on credit cards) make almost $200,000 per year, and have very healthy investment and retirement accounts in America.

Everyone has the right to write about their experience but I would be more inclined to pay attention to the review of someone who has been playing video games for years than the person in your example who purchased their first Xbox with no past experience.

You would need an extremely high grossing property under market value on a something like a 5 year lease to profit, and you probably will not profit after startup costs until Year 2 or 3.Do not even think of trying it with 1/2 bedroom apartments or condos nor 2/3 bedroom homes. 

Verified reviewers, reviews in the last year (or other time period), verified customers, reviewers with more than x reviews, reviews with more than just stars (written comments)?  

While at BPCON last year I connected with an investor and agent in your area.

I have a degree in civil engineering and 15 years construction, site development, and short term rental experience and am looking to shift my focus/career towards real estate development, mainly raw land although if there were a house on the property could include fix and flip.I plan to purchase 50+ acres of raw land with 1000+ feet of road frontage, have it surveyed and split into separate 5+ acre parcels for re-listing.

(Which you could also then do with your new purchase in 2 years.

I agree with @Peter H Derry, the neck area will boom over the next 5-10 years.

S&P has had 2 back to back years of returns in the 2x% range.
