That being the case, the investments you make are absolutely, certainly the right investments...for YOU.Now, as for emerging markets, I'm more comfortable with making a strategic bet on an emerging market than I am on a strong market. 

@Michael Keane, It makes a huge difference strategically. 

I am an aircraft electrician by trade and will soon be a buy and hold real estate investor.

I've been able to get this info  from the permits office (they have to get permits to build) but I want deeper insight on how to strategically pinpoint that this is taking place. 

- What would be a good/strategic way to buy out my partner?

In addition, I know some tax incentives were provided to Embraer Executive Aircraft to attract them to come to the area.Also, Northrop Grumman has committed to building a large engineering facility that will be bringing 1800 jobs to the area around 2017 and rumors are that a large yacht manufacturer will be coming to Merritt Island.  

To the contrary Ms Templor (@Dorothy Templer ) as an investor/agent I think strategically about matters of real estate. 

Give yourself permission to go fishing on occasion (or similar) merely to strategize by yourself.

Brandon, I didn't see Jon suggest at all that you should do turnkey deals, in fact, you'll do better staying away from them.You certainly don't want a note from a turnkey sale, the transactions are usually overpriced which means the note would not reflect a good value to rely on as collateral.You need a good understanding of RE before you get into thinking about notes, need to be able to fly a single engine fixed wing aircraft before flying a 747. :)

But they left a few key things, and it struck me as odd, if not strategic that they didn't do these until after inspection - despite the MLS listing these items, and agreeing that all were included/to be done home before I even made an offer2) The Home inspection came up with a few more things.
