I'm not saying new constructions is wrong, just that it's a different animal.

Real Estate Investment (REI) is a Mammoth animal.

Most of my properties are lower end, but that doesn't mean that people should live like animals (I think this goes without saying).

@Shanna Mosby In the 23222 area there are deals to be had, you really have to be on the ground there and find the deals where others have blazed the path and just ride their coat-talis, don't try to go in there and start on a new block.
