Are you aware of any communities that were marketed previously to the "snow birds" that are now on the rebound?

Depending on the market that's usually the $350k to $800k range.I'm interested in any thoughts or stories or suggested markets to look at based on the above - my favorite location has just gotten too pricey with the housing rebound and isn't generating the returns I need. 

The discussion is focused on how the experts are saying that the housing market has rebounded but many investors are having trouble selling rehabbed properties.

The commercial market here in Atlanta is absolutely dirt cheap right now and haven't really rebounded like residential. 

The only problem they had was that the old steel mill went out a business, but the communities rebounded with gradual small imputus from the the retail and construction sectors.

If Detroit rebounds that would make my properties worth more also. 

But I'm hoping to turn that potential loss into cash flow as prices continue to rebound and rental rates will increase in Orlando.So that is rental property #1.Beyond that I've got a good nest egg already built up in stocks.

It really depends on your strategy if it is buy and hold Pittsburgh is a great investment market but if you want to quickly flip some properties while it can be done in our market there are others out there where you can buy low and sell high on a larger level.I know two markets really well one being Pittsburgh since I sell and invest in this market the other being Phoenix because I used to live there, some of the homes there where selling for 300%+ more before the market hit rock bottom and it is a highly desirable area that I am sure will rebound big time.

I am planning on renting it out until the market in upstate ny rebounds enough to sell.  

Pre crash I think this house would have gone over 170, I am finding that orange county, ny is a little lagging in house prices rebounding.
