As an investor focused on real world trends and fundamentals, I look at areas with strong job growth, new development, and limited supply because those are the factors that drive appreciation over time.

I see google maps and bing maps both do not show any development in this area yet in satellite view.  

I'm working on a 163 home development in GF right now, so we should definitely chat. 

Amarillo doesn’t have a ton of shovel-ready land being developed right now, so capacity to absorb demand could be limited. 

Traditional office development is down.

I still want to flip and develop and I feel like a bankruptcy on my credit history will limit my access to funding and my ability to move forward with real-estate projects all together :(

@Damian Deshong what is the permitted development for that property?

They had about 200 separate properties from small garden apartments in SAC to big land deals ( I ran their land development end as an independent contractor) Brian you will like this one..

In Iowa, I'd imagine you'll have to put less down therefore reducing your risk early on in your business.It is possible to start across multiple markets but I believe you'll have better and stronger results by focusing on one at a time until you've developed your systems.All the best!

To be honest working with home owners is ok, but developers, builders, flippers, etc... are repeat customers.
