That's wild about the mayor, though I'm not surprised.

It seems that with how slowly land seems to sell, there wouldn't be any of the "wild west hunt" for good investment property and instead could be carefully calculated for lowest construction cost, highest durability/energy efficiency, etc. making sure it is a good solid asset with very low maintenance. 

Wildly different. 

In my area, property tax rates vary by area within one city, and vary wildly county by county.

and since everyone in real estate and those that have no clue about real estate all expect a down turn very soon, it makes me very cynical and think that there will be no real down turn for at least another 3-5 years that's just my wild arse guess. 

CFRI online says the Brevard chapter meets:  105 McLeod Street , Merritt Island, FLPriscilla and her husband Fernando host a meetup every other Monday, at Wild Manta in Palm Bay.  5151 Babcock Street, Palm Bay, Fl 32905.  

Previously, it can be used when there was a disaster (hurricanes, tsunami, wild fires, ... ). 

I live in Northern New Jersey and the numbers are wild but the best thing to do is to get into rehabbing since most of the homes here in Northern New Jersey are coming up to their expiration date I need to be updated.

I know cost will vary wildly with land constraints, location,  fit/finish, size and amenities - this is on my list to determine, but I need to understand the larger map first.The part I'm having trouble understanding is the land acquisition, zoning and law adherence (I know I'll need to check local guidelines - still haven't determined exact county yet).

I'd rather buy and hold if the numbers make sense, but the vacancy factor seems like a bit of a wild card, so I'd like to have another exit strategy.Thanks in advance!
