My favorite use was a church purchased by an entrepreneur and converted to a bar/restaurant called the Holy Grail.It's apparently booming.

Only time will tell if the New London area experiences the same boom as New Britain has in the last 3-5 years, but given its proximity to the ocean, proximity to a few colleges, its affordability, and its makeup as an old mill/manufacturing town, I think it's a strong place to invest.

I can have pretty good numbers then add that in and boom - out the window that one goes. 

I haven't seen any big boom in Charlotte house market.

during the "boom" times but COVID has loosened everything up and now 5% can be had in Manhattan, 6%-7% in Brooklyn and even 8% in the Bronx.

Finding real estate in the booming area is now very expensive and even the properties that are run down are owned by owners who want a higher price even if their building is in bad shape.

Then *BOOM* - you're in the middle of the big pitch and wondering how you can politely get up and leave.When it came time to write an offer for our new home, I went looking for guidance, as the forms, procedures and terminology are different in Maine. 

That's $90 for the online school, $60 for fingerprints, $100 for the application, $50 for the test and boom... pass it the first time and you have your license.Maintaining it in Florida also costs about $300 every 2 years.

(Max Maxwell has a Youtube video on this); You can build relationship with tax assessor/collector and get cash sale lists and skiptrace and cold call; calling bandit signs; Craigslist; trading lists with other wholesalers; FB groups; realtors, you can find cash buyers in any market using certain lead gen softwares..there are just many ways..

I can totally appreciate where you are as Seattle is definitely a booming market, with a lot of people needing or wanting to travel through the area.
