@David Paez Hi David, you have probably seen that Lakeland, FL is a popular investment city these days, some of the reasons for this is that Polk County/Lakeland is ideally located centrally to Orlando and Tampa, we have many warehouses strategically located throughout Polk County, to include warehouses for Amazon, IKEA, RoomsToGo, PepsiCo and Publix which make this area strategic for distribution throughout Florida, something else worth mentioning Amazon is building one of their major Air Hubs at the Lakeland Airport, they will be taking over 47 acres to service their planes, not to mention Publix is headquartered in Lakeland, and we also have a large presence for Coca Cola bottling and Juices in Auburndale, FL which is about 10-20 min from Lakeland.Lakeland is also home to the yearly SUN 'n FUN held in April, which is Florida's largest annual convention, which spans over 6 days on 2200 acres, and it has been recorded to have had a $64 Million direct and indirect economic impact on the I-4 corridor (From Tampa to Orlando). https://www.flysnf.org/about/I have been investing since 2002, and my investments are mainly in Lakeland, Bartow, Auburndale and Winter Haven, I also like Lake Wales and Haines City, there is good population growth, and high demand for workers in these areas, of course keep in mind we are in a pretty descent economy right now, whatever you look at, make sure the numbers make sense, and if you purchase something, leave enough room for an economic downturn, I see many outside investors purchasing at higher than normal prices, because the prices seem cheap compared to other markets close to Lakeland, but this can become a trap if the market shifts in a negative direction.I would be glad to help you with your search

Now shifting gears to real estate investing full time.

Durable good manufacturing is actually a trailing indicator to economic shifts, not a leading indicator. 

Personally, I wouldn’t be starting anything multi year with a “modest”shift happening.

Huge shift in rentals in the area. 

When the market shifts then hotels normally shift too.

Some people ,lolIt's very common for tenants to be late on rent and then try to shift blame to the Landlord.

I do not want immediate closing on Monday when we do funding as it will help shift my 1st payment due by a month.  

Do you think with the mass focus on "affordable housing" and the cultural shifts that are occurring that it might be enough of a push to get the public to be more open minded toward modular homes? 

Eventually when I get myself familiar with it, I would like to be able to shift my focus to commercial real estate apartment buildings and scale the business up tremendously!
