The job market is strong due to major companies moving and developing here like Intel, Amazon, Google, etc. and there's a steady population growth and strong rental demand.

Networking in various real estate associations to develop DEEP relationships is part of this program.2.

BP Community, I’m reaching out because my 13-year-old son has developed a huge interest in real estate, and I’m not sure how to guide him. 

I had hear the island is massively lacking in hotels so it makes sense there are incentives for developers. 

I see that you're a developer so if you were to build apartments instead, you might want to look at data specifically for apartments instead of lumping in houses/townhomes.

I would probably refi into a DSCR loan.Aside from a relatively inexperienced builder and the risk of a development that isn't "established" yet, what am I missing?

I actually interned for a company in Iowa City that did real estate, property management, new home construction and development.

Lots of major developments going on over there with the new Honda Plant, airforce museum, and University of Dayton. 

But do note that there are many of these "resort-developments" in the area.

It is important to look for locations with strong economic growth, rising demand for housing, employment, vacation and infrastructure developments, as well as properties that offer the potential for value appreciation or steady cash flow.
