@Michael K GallagherMost cold storage facilities today are being developed ground-up rather than through the retrofit of older buildings.

Amazing.Work with investors, developers, real syndicators not "content creators"! 

Brandon Turner is always a great read and a great resource to have around as you develop in this industry.This excerpt took me back to my student housing days and if you know anything about the industry, the A-class properties are ran like machines with some of the best training being offered to their teams.

I help investors/developers build with modular (prefab) homes here in SoCal.

No interest to develop my portfolio there. 

I would however suggest that you develop metrics so that you can measure markets against your metrics i.e..

No first timers, hobbyists, or anyone we haven’t gotten to know and developed a relationship with.

Sherman is developing into a self-sustaining city further outside the immediate DFW Metroplex.

Over the next 5 years Detroit will become a major international destination due to the joint planning and development effort between Metro Detroit and Ontario Canada.

You will find that some realtors are probably more focused on what they know best, and often that's not investment/house-hacking opportunities.I'm a realtor and active developer/investor in Los Angeles, and I know of a couple of really excellent house-hacking opportunities listed currently that I've previewed in the last couple of weeks, so there's definitely options out there.If you already have a buyer's agent then definitely try to reinvigorate the relationship, but if you're no longer working with them and want to talk, I'd be happy to discuss.
