I'm a 45 year old residential contractor in Stockton, California, one of the most overprice markets in the country.

These cycles are in different stages in different areas of the country and so in some locations, it's perfect to be flipping properties because the market is still strong and values are not falling apart like they are on the coasts.

Particularly important in your part of the country in light of price hikes for heating oil and the high cost to replace.Central air, I'm not sure how many have that up there.Sufficient insulation and the right type.Roof.

I have moved across country with my wife who was originally from MI and people always ask why would I leave Vegas to go to Michigan well its because of her, but at the same time this is actually in my opinion an easier market to invest in with prices being much much lower the potential gains may not be as big per deal but the chance for loss is also significantly less.

I invest in different states and in different countries.

Some parts of the country are better than others.

The governing body estimate the country would have to almost double their rooms just to meet the demand during peak season.

Hi bs73,While it is true that the market conditions nationwide are not as HOT as they were a couple of years ago, and indeed, some areas are declining, there are lots of areas in the country that are doing just fine, and some areas that are booming!

Does anyone have any knowledge of the program they have started and are currently rolling out around the country.
