With a bunch of new construction in Brickell and the design district (Native, Quadro, etc) I wonder how this will effect prices and rent in existing units in those areas or elsewhere in Miami. 

In one neighborhood, murals are popping up along the main commercial district: http://www.coolcleveland.com/blog/2013/09/controversy-in-collinwood/ I own some property there that could use a paint job.

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe changing the actual zoning for a property needs a bill to get through city council meaning you need the sign off from the councilperson and your district and then they have to go get the votes.

Hey Chung, I recently joined @Russell Brazil and The District Invest Group. 

If a landlord does not get the CofC:1) The Building Safety Engineering & Environmental Dept (BSEED) inspectors may issue the following tickets:- No property registration- No city inspection- No lead-based paint inspection- Renting without a CofC2) A landlord can then attend a Department of Appeals & Hearings (DAH) to challenge the tickets, but unless you have an active eviction, your chances are slim.3) Technically, if you start an eviction against a tenant, the court may throw out your case if you do not have a CofC. 4) At any time, a tenant can deposit their rent with the 36th District Court and the landlord will have 90 days to get the CofC.

The first point to realize is that this is a lawsuit brought before a district court, not before the IRS or SEC.

Tulsa is a great market if you know what you are looking for and the school districts are very important. 

Typically speaking, Flip candidates will be in the burbs 10-20 min away from the downtown city center point.This would include (in order of highest avg price and appreciation (which is around 9-12%); Johnson County KS (Overland Park, Leawood, Shawnee, Merriam, Prairie Village, Mission, Roeland Park,etc) Parkville, Lee's Summits, Blue Springs, Liberty, Northland (Staley and Oak Park HS district in Particular)That being said, there are many prolific flippers with strong relationships with wholesalers who swoop up anything worth a damn pretty quick.All of these 'A' markets are often 'fed' by tertiary markets further out in the metro (30-45 min from the city center point) and other desirable markets further out from the metro (OP fed by Spring Hill and Olathe, Liberty fed by Excelsior Springs, Orrick, Richmond, etc, P and then standalone markets of Excelsior Springs, Platte City, Kearney, SMithville, Weston, etc...I am less familiar with standalone cities in the south, but these would include Raymore, Louisburg, Peculiar.For flips though, its all about purchase price, and most of the wholesale (and a few on MLS) deals that I see that would be good flip candidates due to entry price mostly exist in Independence, Raytown, Gladstone, Grandview.Areas to avoid are in the city center.

Looking to do the BRRRR model but not a full rehab, minor to moderate rehab and to be in the good school districts as well.
