Lakefront housing and second homes are also very popular as buyers seek unique recreational activities including... bass fishing! 

What Zip Codes have the largest concentration of older homes in [city, state]?

I have built many homes before all in-fill however this is the largest project to date, next largest was a 5 unit townhome project but that was not much different from in-fill.  

I work with the largest brokerage, responsive, and have enough product for everything.

If your home is your largest asset, you're in trouble as far as freedom goes. 

As a newbie, I have acquired three lovely City lots in a cozy little Colorado town close to the second largest lake here in the state with the closest sky resorts being just ninety minutes to Telluride and forty-five minutes to Durango.

I've met with 80+ builders in our market and only three can build with their GC fee at less than $160 per sq ft. so let's back into your largest you can build and say you find one of three builders in your market and have perfect execution. that's tough to get, most will do $180 a sq ft hard cost no permitting but let's say you do it even better. 180000 / 160 is 1125 sq ft. now personally as developer I'd make that 3 studios and make a ton of money but if you want comfort, you don't have a lot.

I was fortunate as I worked in the largest Tax Lien Foreclosure law firm and processed many tax lien certificate foreclosures and got my feet wet as they say working other investors files. 

The largest drops were in Las Vegas (-42%), Boise (-36%), Stockton (-25%), Bridgeport (-24%), San Jose (-19%), Chicago (-18%), Raleigh (-17%), and Phoenix (-15%).57 of the Top 100 saw active inventory rise YoY in January 2024.

My husband & I have an opportunity to buy a small gutted home in a touristy/outdoor recreation town near us for a good price.
