Hi all,I can't help but notice that everywhere I research, I come across this theme of several markets across the country being overheated.

I didn't take the traditional college degree route, instead I jumped right into real estate and I got mentoring from some of the top investors in the country.  

Personally, I like having someone local to my market who knows and understands it versus someone in a boiler room on the other side of the country who has no idea of whats going on... 

Austin is one of the hottest markets in the country, period.

Luckily with the volume we buy we have access to direct decision makers which really helps with inventory of good deals around the country.

As with many areas in the country there are sink hole problems throughout different areas.

There are of course some differences and some similarities, between investing in the States and investing in other countries.

Looking for land markets across the country that are v liquid with high level of speculative investors and buying/selling activity. 

@Stephanie Beard  this is a total SCAM  ,  its the same as the Nigerian ( I need help with getting 10 million out of the country.)No one invest like this.. they will identity theft you is what will happen.. or they will then come back with you have to buy this security bond from a company in Thailand for 5k then the money will come. etc etc.I had an acquaintance place an add in craigs list in middle east ,  and Asia looking for money partners.. and she got bombarded with these exact same type of replys.. they can be some what convincing but they will at the end of the day try to get small dollars out of you.Again there is absolutely ZERO chance anyone is going to invest a large sum of money with someone they met on the internet and further as you claim have no real experience or funding already behind you.. 

The interesting thing about this article is that its statistics also suggest that people who are renting should be buying - but that is also great for people with rental properties because the values of those properties will continue to be pushed higher than they already are in what most are describing as a heated market across the country.
