Plus Brie's podcast are fantastic they interview turn key buyers the real man or women on the street who has purchased these.. however with all the web folks out there finding someone to upgrade the site is no big deal or significant cost..

Hey @Adrian Orgill   Fantastic place to invest (fort myers) but its much like miami which im sure you are very familiar with and many other places there are certain vip codes that you want to be in and certain ones that you want to stay out of as a fix and flip (crime, tenant quality etc...) so you really have to go down there and check it all out for yourself.

Go find a GC that is a design build company that has experience in apartment building development to navigate you in the process if they decide to accept you as a costumer. 

This is an old post but started off fantastic, anyone with experience in South Jersey care to update us on the current favorable markets?

I think funneling your money into as much targeted direct mail as possible is a fantastic idea. 

It's a fantastic resource and a huge bargain.

I'll double check the rental rates - if anyone has any recommendations on best approaches to researching actual rental prices in any given area, that'd be fantastic.  

That's fantastic Christopher-- thank you so much.

Unlike other development deals I'm working, this one currently has $900/mo gross rents coming in while we go through planning/permitting to more than offset taxes/insurance, which along with the fantastic location is why I particularly liked it.

Appreciation is fantastic, but just cannot be reliably predicted except, perhaps, in markets where new supply is hard to come by (NY and SF are great examples as you pointed out).
