I know some people did really well in the last 6-7 years in several Texas cities (Austin/Dallas/Houston etc) where they enjoyed cash flow and then a sudden boom of appreciation.

However my area is in a population boom, certain areas have increased in population 250 percent in a year.

The housing market here in Queen Creek is booming and very cheap for the area I am interstesting in networking with other agents and investors I can help with my knowledge and also I can do listing for agents.

Spirits are definitely booming right now, at least in Colorado.

Gain of salt here please, but this market is BOOMING.

I'm looking at a much older house (1917) in a GREAT booming little town north of Pittsburgh in the rural Cranberry area.

The buyer could make the seller an offer a couple thousand dollars higher than what you are offering and boom, youve lost your deal.

I RUN an investment company - this shift alone will allow you to work less, make more, and not do the "boom and bust" cycles of most investors... having big months and then working like a hamster to find the next deal.

I suspect that at the height of the housing boom, there were some $200K homes that were renting for $1500 a month and rapid price inflation pushed the market price to $600K before the lease term expired.

We got very luck as we bought just before the boom and sold our 126k house for 210k. we upgraded to a 310k which is nearly triple the sq footage and has a real garage... oh man is that nice. our old place was a mere 600sq ft. tight for 2 adults with 2 dogs...
