I am a buy and hold real estate investor in the Capital Region of New York and do one or two deals per year at current pace, but with the intent to increase this as means and opportunities arise.

My alma mater is doing ok this year (Permian) and may meet up with you guys in that killer region in the upper left hand part of the bracket....maybe think playoffs now and property later!

Anyway, cost of living in my target region is right at the national average - not too cheap, not too expensive.

I'm looking for investors in the Central Florida region.

Hi All,I live in Toronto, Canada.

Maybe  it has a correlation to all the fracking/drilling activity we have around here, maybe it's not related - who knows.So to get to my question, for a region that is not constructed at all to sustain this peril of mother nature, lets say the current trend continues and we keep having the rumblers.  

@Benjamin Kwendi  If you're interested, I might be able to help you- I'm a broker and I really enjoy working with investors across the region.

I have never dealt with them although introducing myself to the Hagerstown commercial lending department has been on my to do list for too long.A quick Google search will reveal several credit unions and regional banks in the area.Both Hagerstown and Martinsburg generate strong opinions here on BP.

Building costs per sq ft is a regional number - - values in the North East (New England) are different than those in the South West, due to materials, building codes, and even such simple things as 2x6 vs 2x4 wall studs as an example.A good quote for cost/sqft should be available from an "local" licensed contractor and ask two or three to box in a range.

Should I be hitting up regional operators?
