We’ve got the finances to back up our promises, and the talent to meet the demands of the future.”Officials expect growth to spill into Shelby County and its neighbors, including Fayette and Tipton counties.

@Sean Durham Hi Sean, I can't speak for Long Beach because I'm not in that area as much, but pasadena is still having large growth but mainly in apartments, condos and rentals.

Many,many others factors go into this.Retail is a great asset and my clients do well with it but it's not something to mess around with on your own without the knowledge. 3 to 4 years ago investors without knowledge could just buy at a high cap rate coming off the bottom with low rents and let the market do it's thing with cap rate compression and rent growth.

My question is, if you were to go back and make a choice from day 1, would you recommend the stock market or property for capital growth?

They seem to be growing at a fairly rapid rate so I suspect much of this is related to growth pains. they do generally have solid deals and are easy to work with during the purchase process. 

I'm in the international development consulting industry, mostly working in private sector development/economic growth arena, and fortunate to be living overseas...at the moment, in Istanbul, Turkey.

I lean towards the sides of safety and slow growth as opposed to high risk high growth.

Considering that Newark is 25 minutes from Manhattan and close to an International Airport Hub, the City has seen a lot of redevelopment in the past 10 years.Two particular locations that have seen tons of action, high equity appreciation, and are poised for continued growth over the next ten years are the Ironbound Section, Downtown University Heights, and North Newark near Branch Brook Park in Forest Hill. 

Thank you for letting me know, I appreciate it immensely! 

Grow the money actively until hitting (it may take years of work) a few million dollars mark, and then think about passive investment.
