While South Burlington has a strong chance of continuing to be a popular area to live in, and thus has a strong potential for property to appreciate, this is not guaranteed, and therefore in my mind any investment there is more speculative in nature and a little more risky than buying a property that from day one has a double digit Cap Rate and 30%+ CoCR.

You rock, thanks! 

Marketing idea: take postcards and add rocks that I get from yard or wherever and ride my bike with my wife and go up and down the street throwing our postcards on people's lawn.

Adrian,I don't know you but from the title of this post and the brevity of your intro, you're coming across as the guy who thinks he's going home with the hottest girl at the bar simply because he showed up.Unless you look like Pit Bull and things naturally fall into your lap, you're going to have to learn to hustle both in dating and in real estate if you want to make it. 

Eventually all of the units sold for rock-bottom prices.Fast forward to 2015 and although not fully recovered, the neighborhood is on the upswing with new construction and is guaranteed to be a more desirable location in the next 2-3 years.  

You wouldn't believe some of the stuff you find in houses,   Extension cords in walls, plugs sheet rocked over, live wires going no where. 

It sounds like it should almost be a natural thing.  

I don't mean to be stand offish, though @Hattie Dizmond might tell you it's in my nature to be, but money is not what you need now :)

It will just become second nature.
