Cap rates have been seen sub 4%, and the Sacramento market has seen blistering rent growth over the last few years.

However, we will also be looking at other growth areas within the city where the cash flow makes sense.

I made a loan on a park a few years back and it got condemned and need hundreds of thousands ot get it back up and running in the mean time all the homes had to be moved or vacated.. nightmare on elm st.If it has city utls at the street I would factor in converting it into the buy price. just because you have explosive growth does not mean a park will fill takes the right kind of folks that want to live in a park in the first place.Of ocurse if you make it a A to B park it is easier.. pictures I saw had some single wides at least that's what I thought I saw when I glanced at it.good luck

Prices are great and close drive to 3 large cities with a good entry level job market with tons of talk of growth. 

It is also showing growth and not too bad a commute into Ft Worth. 

Align this with what you want to acheive with your investing.I like Dallas for it's rapid growth and future growth potential (among many other demographic and economic factors).

J Scott, specifically, I want to know if the Chesapeake Beach/Owings/Calvert Co. market is expressing similar growth compared to other D.C. suburb markets or if it's a slower growth area.

Measures like; Job growth, building permits, crime rates are pertinent for these types of evaluations.Good luck - Ned

If you're buying at 5% CAP rate and interest rates are at 10%, then you're much better buying all cash or paying down the loan as quickly as possible.I'm also in growth mode, so I'd vote for leveraging to buy more properties regardless.

If you make 50k a year and have 100k cash to invest you might push for something riskier as you need more growth with your cash.
