There are deals here, but you'll have to act fast and have your finances right or someone will swipe that deal from you.Side note, I always see developers putting up subdivisions really far out.

You generally have more contacts that you think you do -- your database, properly nurtured, can shake out transactions at a 6:1 ratio. 

Hi @Tamara Glass -- My Father In Law (Commercial Developer), Wife (Partner/Gladiator), and I have are serious about OZ and the opportunity.

The developer in this case added value and didn't just hope for natural appreciation.

@Tyler AmnottIf you have a vacant unit and you are considering Section 8, hen with proper screening it can be good for you. 

I was wondering if it was possible to become a successful real estate developer in smaller markets like mine and the surrounding areas versus being in a major metropolitan city.

Newly educated , currently learnin from mentors and self development.

Though the units may have had proper heating, the pipes leading up to the units may be exposed to the cold.One particular property we had was vacant which made it all the more miserable since no one was in the property to heat it.

This does usually result in us using more paperwork/notices than necessary with our tenants, but covers our risk for the most part...generally, the  notices have the actual statutes printed on them and if you read through them thoroughly, states the proper routes to take in different situations and when to use a particular notice. 

In my area they can rent out at 1,000-1,200 all day long, and since there's so much demand, I can screen tenants properly without having to compromise just to avoid vacancy.
