In Tampa I meet Tow Truck drivers that make $3,000 a Week...what did you do?

Both of these challenges can often be minimized with the right team and guidance from an experienced investor.As @Jay Hinrichs mentioned, appreciation is the main driver of wealth in real estate.

@Xavien Rafael I'm not mad at you and I really do mean it when I say that I believe you know what you are doing.

How mad will you be if you write the offer and it’s accepted at the equivalent of 100k and by the time you close it is worth the equivalent of 150k?

Maybe take a cab and ask the driver about the area.

Plenty of demand drivers and diverse economy.

But for daily driver and any trips along any interstate I really like mine..

This is the driver for the tone of this tread. 

Is there a method to the madness or just a shotgun approach until you find one that works?

Always look for strong economic drivers like population growth and job market growth.
