We both have rehabbing experience but want to ensure that we work well together on wholesales before we take it to the next level) and (2) tap into the spanish speaking markets that I've previously shied away from because I didn't speak the language.He's also from a neighboring county (Hudson co.) and grew up in the region's most booming city, Jersey City.

A 100-year-old property with an effective age of 20 years that passes inspection might have advantages over a property that was built at lightning speed during the real estate boom.

Around here RV parks are booming, it seems.Thanks for the recommendation.

The home building boom after WWII was mostly due to HUD and FHA establishing financing conduits to carry mortgages long term providing lower payments.

@John Fortes Boom! 

If you were somewhere else besides Santa Ana, somewhere like Toothless, Idaho, and you had a small local or regional bank that was not likely affected by the boom in real estate back in 2002-2006, there is a good chance of going in and making a connection with an asset manager IF they warehoused their loans they wrote on local properties. 

That doesn't mean there aren't areas of opportunity though, I'd highly suggest looking up the Walkers Point area and areas around there, where you're between the 3rd ward, where had any of us speculated on some of the then mostly vacant 10 story warehouses in time for the condo boom of the late 90's and 2000's, we'd be well on our way to the Forbes 400!

This city is booming, cranes littering the downtown area, fortune 1000 companies constantly announcing relocating or establishing presences in Nashville, etc.  

There is a viable entrepreneurial movement in Cleveland right now, but it can't fill all of the 30's & 40's buildings from the booming industrial era.

Houses didn’t even appreciate there in the boom of early 2000’s.
