I own a lot in Pt Aquarius that I'm hoping to build on eventually, so am also very interested in the market in and around Lake Conroe.  

I like Helen, Lake Lanier, etc..

There is a local meetup in Lake forest every month that you should check out. http://meetu.ps/2QWCkhIf you would like to meet up before then and talk about investing let me know.

You'll need to be careful when vetting deals as some properties that look like screaming deals with high cap rates you'll find are in those dodgy areas.Going upscale from there are Central Nanaimo, Diver Lake, Pleasant Valley, Uplands, Departure Bay, Hammond Bay and North Nanaimo, in that order roughly.

I currently live in Lake County however looking at moving at moving back to the Wheaton area (where I grew up).

Gentilly by the lake is starting to get expensive, which is reducing the value you can get.  

I'm looking for an A/C installation for a house I'm re-habbing in Lake Worth. 

I have a few farming areas in Michigan--Ferndale, Hazel Park, Royal Oak (apartment buildings), Lake Orion, Oscoda (vacation and long term rentals).I hope to learn and grow as an investor--and help others to do the same!

I'm mostly pursuing it bc it will be my first duplex and I really like the area (it is directly across the street from a beautiful 15 acre park with sports amenities, lakes, etc...).PITI will be $1050+/- so I feel fairly confident in the month to month debt service, and once I get the 3rd BR built in each, it should ARV around $160k and my LTV will be in the safe zone.As mentioned, do not try and play games with an owner occupant mortgage. 

I live in Draper and invest in Salt Lake County....I like coffee!
