Norma,Developing these relationships takes some time. 

I will be working at this on a full time basis and have experience painting and plastering rental properties  I also realize I must develop a team including sub contractors. 

I think the development of a Med School will be a huge catalyst for growth; Spokane has the opportunity to be a great market!

Still going to see what the inspection comes back as but will probably continue looking in other areas (maybe a tad bit closer to the belt line developments).

USC added a Bachelor of Science in Real Estate Development.

Next, I would look into other more broad categories such as job growth, capitalization rate movements, demographic shifts, education levels, dependence on certain industries (regarding employment), public transportation, city development programs, etc.Regarding unemployment, I think there's a catch to low unemployment.

I plan on using my experience in this are to develop some strong lead funnels for great deals.

KC = Kansas city, which has some great fundamentals going on especially with that new $4 billion  Cerner development going in south KC.  

@Ben MillsI'll jump in since I develop in Austin.You are correct that one of your biggest challenges will be to find the lot.

You'll find lots of useful info and make great connections here on BP.I work for a development company, Blue Sky Homes.
