I do see single family developments and large apartment buildings going up which means there is the demand.

Nice to meet you all!

These developments always have good workers. 

I have one in a nice neighborhood, and I am interested.  

That's awesome, nice job!  

I see these developments being good for an area but I'm not sure if they will actually be the game changer that many think .plenty of places in the country where there are stadiums but the surrounding area is run down or high crime .I also see investing with negative cash flow being risky .

My goal is to get 8-10% net cap rate for a long term (20-30 years), I'm still considering few strategies, To invest in a big and stable city like Jacksonville to buy a old house (1960-1980) in not so good neighborhood and give it to a property management company to take car of the properties or to go to a medium city like Gainesville but will still need a local property management or it will be better for me to invest in a new construction in a small city like Ocala (I know there is a lot of development in the area) and I can also manage it myself.

I am a local realtor and developer in Northern Bergen county.

I'm in NJ but a quick search on Houston landlord tenant law pulls up a Houston Housing and Community Development Dept page which say:---------------------- A landlord must LET TENANTS ENJOY THEIR HOMES.

Its a skill developed by the investor.
