I have started to read the beginners guide and my head is about to explode but it's definitely interesting.

Rents have exploded and I agree that they cannot rise 20% per year indefinitely.

I live in Brooklyn where the market is exploding and would love to focus on investing here for multiple reasons, Convenience - Its where I live and there's no need for an hour drive,  Lost opportunity - property values are  rapidly appreciating, Funding - its far easer to find a cash partner for deals in Brooklyn as its "the area" where everyone wants to investMy previous deal however was in Long island where its much calmer and easier to find a deal (its far from a piece of cake...)  

The Greeley market has been exploding the last 6 or 7 years. 

@Kevin McNeely - if you keep the sliding door, be aware of the Texas property code for sliding glass doors: requires either a handle latch where the door closes OR a security bar; AND it requires a pin lock (mounted on the frame on the side opposite the handle).And be darn careful putting the pinlock in...we had a glass door explode on us when drill met glass...we now have a French door in its place (goes better with the finish out anyhow, oh well)Andy

If you're looking to work your farm, the highest value crop that I know of is aroma hops for the exploding craft beer industry.

I fill like my brain is going to explode and not enough time in a day to do all this reading.

I was extremely fortunate in stumbling into the purchase of a DC rowhouse in a neighborhood that has exploded in popularity and have benefited from the increased property values that come with that popularity, as well as having mostly fantastic tenants.My family and I will be moving to Colorado next, so that will be my next investment location.

We hauled off the meth exploded trailer $1,100 and worked with the health department to insure no contamination from the meth lab.

My properties are in the 200-300.000 dollar range and lately ive seen the market explode here in Norway.
