It's more an appreciation/speculation play and some of these older 4plexes and multi family get redeveloped eventually.

My stock portfolio has some speculative investments, but they are also good companies, they are just more volatile.  

I think a lot of the value increases will be speculative and might not last so I've been hesitant to jump in on that.  

I don't how it could but still that is speculation I am no expert but i can see two peas in same pod. 

This is complete speculation and you might be #1 on the list for all I know! 

I wanted to start a thread that starts the speculation of potential investment opporunity possible in these areas.Also, can someone help me understand the benefit of the following statement in these zones? 

I think her speculation is based inside future development plans that should play out in the coming years so who knows.

@Michael Yan A deal that is "hoping" for cash flow in year one, and again "hoping" for cash flow in year two tells me this is not a good deal, you should never be "hoping " for anything is a deal, if you don't have solid numbers in your deal you're speculating and hoping this turns into a good deal over time as you hold it.

Just speculating.

Then he or she must find out what kind of buyer they are such as are they a Fix & Flip buyer or a Rental Buyer or a Speculative buyer.
