Crypto-currencies seem to be the hottest growth item on the shelf these days, that said, they can depreciate wildly and quickly on a bad day.

I attempt to make it to all events like these because they are great for both networking and education to better grow our investing business with the latest products, designs, and trends to get flips sold faster because new construction for my area is often direct competition for rehabbing.

However, if you have not noticed, the trend in our Country's socialist downside is to stick it to the property owners for the good of the collective.

I was fortunate to buy my first real estate after the crash in 09 and my house has appreciated 40%, so I'm not going to go out and get 100% financing on a bunch of stuff right this second speculating the upward trend will forever continue. 

Day trading crypto, especially in a trending market, is quite easy.

The median listing price has risen 21% in Sarasota and nearly 18% in Honolulu since March 2015.https://www.trulia.com/blog/trends/10-markets-pric...

From the research I have done, the hottest areas are 23451, 23434, 23455, & 23462 - does that check out with what's going on in the market?

Rental rates have gone both when rates trend up and down.

I can instead buy an existing store with management and employees trained up and know what sales have been and trending for years.

Good agents tend to have the best pulse on values, both rental and sales, along with the trends that impact them.With all that said, it sounds like you're doing this right in my book.
