Chicago broker finding off market rehabs and teardowns for high ROI in some of Chicago's hottest areas.  

With the current downward trend in rates, I'd would love to refinance my rental property which is a condo currently at 4.5%.

From my understanding, my firm has most of the hottest deals in Miami right now so I believe we could most definitely work together.What is the best method to reach you?

Through the research I have done online I have found that cities in the south east (Tampa, Jacksonville, Orlando, Charlotte) all have indicators that would seem to point to an upward trend (Pop/job growth etc..)I was also looking into Raleigh a little but it seems that I may have missed the boat on finding affordable property in desirable neighborhoods.What are your thoughts on the Raleigh market from an investor perspective?

From there I then inquire about the condition and any major repairs that may be needed..After that I do my own research regarding rent amounts in the area and market trends...

Denver RE has been one of the hottest in the nation for a couple of years now.

This is the trend in a good portion of New Jersey.

Could it be a coincidence or is there a certain trend in the market that is making these investors avoid long term buy and holds?

Also, your agent should know how to identify market and value trends, determine zonings like flood before you submit, understand seller motivations, and be a good negotiator. 

They don't have a lot of equity, but the house has appreciated from some upgrades (and market trend) and they currently have a 3.25% interest rate!
