In know Grant Cardone is offering this sort of option...l don't have knowledge or crystal ball about who how what is best path

While no one holds a crystal ball, the choice to invest anywhere is often based on metrics. 

My crystal ball hasn't worked since I was a kid.

That would have paid for his education five times, and could have prevented his losses and probably enabled him to make greater profits instead of losing his shirt.There's an education-related real estate investor group which meets in the Lake In The Hills / Crystal Lake area.

@Crystal Smith Thanks Crystal for your insight, much appreciated

Hey Crystal here, Im looking for wholesalers and investors in the Atlanta and Decatur area.

With the Amazon HQ2 move to Crystal City projected for 2023, what housing markets appear to be heating up in VA?

I know of a bank that, in spite of the above, somehow interprets it such that they will not let ANYONE use a 401k loan, no matter what, even though that guideline is crystal clear (to me, at least) that you can (solution: I simply don't broker the loan to that bank if that's the scenario we are working with, and I'm not even going to waste time with them if we're doing something along the lines of what is being discussed in this thread). 

But no one has a crystal ball, so who knows where our market will be in 1, 2, 5 years.

As you most likely know there is a lot of buzz around Arlington because of Amazon HQ2 setting up shop in Crystal City .
