@Andre Demers I wish I had more...I have family in the area and north to Steven's Point...so, I know it, but it don't really know it...I know Rockford to the South has changed for the better (slowly)...and as Chicago continues to grow and expand affordability is getting limited...

If you're in the city of Yucca Valley or the city of 29 Palms, permitting and plan check are going to have shorter lead times than if you are in the unincorporated San Bernardino County areas such as all of Joshua Tree, and areas further north of the 62 in Yucca Valley, 29 Palms, and Landers.For new build, my gc says expect 1 year from acquisition of land to the finished product.

I am looking to purchase my first home in the next few months in the north ridgeville or Avon lake area.

Example, if you purchased that with fha loan and put 3.5% down and you are on the beach in North PB?

The CoC on these up front (assuming my assumptions are correct) is north of 15% and the annualized return is 20%. 

The lot is 10,000 SF in North Long Beach and the existing house is 728 SF 1bed/1bath with a detached garage which is in terrible shape. 

The tenant pool is really strong and the rents are headed north in a hurry. 

It's time for me to begin taking the next step in my investing careerDoes anyone have a good North Carolina (or specifically Charlotte) based securities attorney they recommend?

I've been scrolling old forums looking for opportunities for networking in the Western Mass area.

And I haven't used them myself, but I heard Bank of North Carolina is good.
