It seems like the project it is taking forever then boom the framers get there and the house goes up.

Why, because CA is the king of BOOM/BUST states.

Chunks of the South as well, but in places that didn't see the big booms of the last few years.I think that vacation rental operators will feel a ton of pain, relatively speaking, over the next 2-3 years.

Since you have to trust other folks with things, it's imperative those are good folks.I'm horrible with geography, but if you are in CT, not sure how far away that is from some of these but for example, Philly is booming right now for buying rentals.

General rule of thumb is don’t sue if you cant prove your case, and don’t sue if you cannot collect or the cost to collect exceeds the award.

Purchase price: $10,000 Cash invested: $110,000 Purchased a piece of property in a hot booming oilfield area got it developed for 25 rv spots and am collecting average 13750 a month rent.

. * Taxes are public record so you can go to the counties tax collector site and see past bills there.

I can only speak for what I have seem in the last 40 years in major cities of Canada.In the 70's & 80's influx of Asain migrate to Ontartio, all cities & towns surrounding Toronto just boomed.

You can even tell people, to encourage them, that you'll give them $1,000 if they bring you a motivated seller, and you purchase the property off the seller, and close, then you will give them $1,000 and boom you found a cheap home (possibly)I hope that helps. 

Like most places that have experienced a large boom in the last couple of years, I would look at opportunities that may be present in the near vicinity.
