Have you staged it to look like a home?

I was recently at a payment center for my local water and power company and I began a discussion with an RE investor and he was outraged at how his tenants were consuming water.

Add to that the allure of California, great economy in so cal, the ocean, amusement parks, medical centers, high tech, manufacturing, entertainment, recreation, sports teams, universities, etc., and it all creates a strong demand for housing and commercial space. 

I am a newcomer to BP and am looking to make a purchase by the end of summer.My goal is to be able to semi retire and manage my own RE instead of other peoples.I am currently a maintenance manager at a shopping center in Milwaukee WI.

In regards to location, one must be able to get a very large crane and the carrier with the module on site with enough room to both stage and set. 

Hey guys I'm interested in hearing what your experiences in managing shopping centers are.

Framing should be done on either a 12" or 16" center. 

In some ways the answer to this question is limitless with real estate and new construction making up such a sizeable part of the economy.But just to rattle off some others that I didn't see mentioned, you could find jobs at:- Architectural firms- Staging companies (i.e. stage sample houses with furniture for builders or houses for sale).- Government administration especially related to zoning and land development- Mortgage companies or working as a loan officer- Title insurance companiesYou may also get some ideas from looking at the vendors who frequent your local REIA.

When the actual differences are measured on those redevelopment stages, these can be 8 figure concerns on the same original investment prices of 20 years ago (400k).

Infrastructure and job centers (such as UMD and a few govt agencies) are reasons I would bet on Hyattsville.
