Im new to BP too but work as Realtor in Chattanooga and the surrounding areas.

Hello BP,I'm a new realtor to the Los Angeles area and surrounding cities.

(A)A development application with a proposed building or parking area that encroaches on the 100-year floodplain may be approved if the encroachment is:(1)a parking area that is smaller than 5,000 square feet or an unoccupied structure that has an area of less than 1,000 square feet, and the director determines that the proposed development:(a)will not have an adverse effect on the 100-year floodplain or surrounding properties; and(b)otherwise complies with the requirements of this title;

However, Minneapolis and Des Moines are highly priced compared to surrounding small towns (as much as 10x more expensive). 

It would be great to surround myself with others who are like minded and are also learning real estate. 

What type of area are you in, do the surrounding homes have new windows?

What surrounding areas are less competitive? 

@Charles CarilloThank you Charles, I definitely can utilize your ideas in my neighborhood and surrounding areas.

I recently bought my first commercial property in Glendale, AZ and there is an additional half acre gravel lot surrounded with security fencing and a security gate.I have long-term lease set up for the building on front half of the property, but I’d like to start adding value and cash flow to this back lot!

Plenty of opportunity to BRRRR here in Philadelphia and in the surrounding area.
