A lot of people and capital leaving urban core areas and migrating out to the suburbs.

I don't necessarily want to make real estate investing my fulltime career, but a very lucrative side hustle to my own business in holistic wellness and urban farming.In 2009, I WAS looking to make real estate investing my fulltime career, mostly as a wholesaler but I've since realized that I do not have a passion for that particular niche, but I do love the flexibility, cash flow, and wealth creation that building a healthy property portfolio provides.At any rate, I look forward to FINALLY engaging with people on the forums, learning, DOING, and sharing with others.

I'm a broker with Plat Collective and I've helped navigate OOS investors to landing great deals in urban appreciating markets.

The reason I want to get into this deal is that a) I think rents will increase over time and b) It is a unique property as far as location and its Victorian style construction compared to the rapid urban development the area is experiencing which could lead to significant appreciation in the next 5 years.

This is usually the result of urban sprawl.

We live in a (mostly) free society where they can accept what you're offering or they can buy from someone else.

In urban areas, it is soft for sure, affecting the rental market, condos and higher end properties.   

which with the forest fires we see today in cA.. that did allow urbanization into land that was forest in history we are seeing the drastic results.. and even in Oregon a few towns burnt down although not really because of urbanization into the forest like the Sierra Nevada has. we are looking at a specific county in WA and that county still has NO Zoning  everything just gets approved by project.. this is good and bad.. there is a time and place to separate manufacoring from SFR and commercial from SFR. 

Look, society has to be paid for from somewhere.

An urban, racially and ethnically diverse neighborhood with high rises and 6 flats and single family homes on small lots....and the richest county in Michigan generally filled with woods, lakes, and suburban homes on large lots.
