Your on the east coast, so you forgot to look these markets.

If you'd like to visit us while you're here in the states, we'd be happy to speak with you - the Gulf coast is alive and well for flips.

The good news is that the closest one to you is the Western Mass REIA in West Springfield which is an excellent group.  

I was wondering if anyone has any experience with Grand Coast Capital?

Sunshine Coast Jams & Jellies).  

My 2 oldest sons (college students) just stopped in at Bentley Gold Coast in Chicago and have decided they want to skip buying a sports car now and want to put their money in RE.

The hills aren't exactly the pacific coast rim mountains and they aren't protected government land like in the Bay Area. 

As for cash flow homes, they are pretty difficult to come across and the multi unit market here doesn't really exist in a 2-4 unit unless its in "C" or "D" areas....this might or might not present an opportunity i am not sure.3) Houston is a big oil and gas city and costs in general for housing here compared to the coasts are LOW while incomes the last 2-3 years have been competitive to coasts...this means a lot of discretionary income is around so there might be investors that will keep the real estate market from bottoming once they find cap rates that make sense4) there is a huge overbuild of commercial properties in the city and ive heard that there is more commercial space coming online this year that is new sqft than the ENTIRE city of St Louis sqft total...and that doesnt even begin to factor in the several huge multi unit mixed use projects all over the city just coming online....soo the mid-upper "a" or "b" properties are probably all overpriced and will see some pressure....which is why i stuck to a "c"/"d" property because they are pretty much not adding more of5)  This deal seems fine but if i am going to start really building this business in Houston I really need to get a better handle of what can drive this economy if it ISNT going to be oil and gas.  

When you are east coast traveling let me know and we can go for a ride!
