These areas are also sure to appreciate due to Amazon in Crystal City. 

But no one has a crystal ball....

You do it a 2nd time, like "Skippy" did, on purpose to antagonize I might add, were gonna make it crystal clear, as I did. 3rd time, be good at ducking because a tool is flying through the air your direction.  

Meaning that people who jump into REI often do not have a clear direction and will purchase homes with no clear avatar in mind or crystal clear criteria established.

You don't have crystal ball, people call it and they are always wrong and generally mocked etc.  

To make this as crystal clear as possible so that we are all on the same page - when I say traditional turnkey sales I am talking about my company buying distressed properties, fixing them and then reselling them.

@Kenton LeVay nailed the lack of a crystal ball problem. 

What is your crystal clear criteria?

Developing your real estate skills, building a team, getting crystal clear on what you are trying to accomplish and what your goal is, and most importantly taking daily action will lead you to success in any market you end up deciding on.
