@Matt JamesMy business partner and I have developed a mentor/mentee program.

the developers I work with get their plan in place and use a combination of the two types.  

An Austin developer is planning 100 acres of development adjacent to the new Samsung factory in Taylor.About 275,000 square feet of industrial space, 86 single-family homes, more than 90,000 square feet of flexible office space and more are on the drawing board.Forterra Developers LLC has already secured entitlements for 53 acres it's calling Forterra Mixed Use, and it is finalizing entitlements for 47 more acres under the name Forterra Business Park.

I hear Richmond is blasting off to outer space these days with all the development and the new ferry terminal opening up??

@David Litt, you have raised an issue that has been on my mind for about a year now as I watched insurance rates spiral in my area (Central Florida) and more recently as HOA dues and taxes steadily increased.These developments have pushed me to give more careful consideration to the strategies that I should focus on going forward to achieve my goals of scaling my portfolio.

People are going crazy in and around Bridgeport right now because there is a lot of development and still talk or even action at this point regarding a new casino from what I hear.Also doesn't hurt that it's so close to Stamford and New York of course.You can make money investing just about anywhere... but I prefer to pay attention where everyone is going, and go in the opposite direction.

It may take some trial and error for you to find trusted contractors and vendors to work with but those things develop overtime and often change frequently.
