The key is trying to find the location before it explodes not buying after it does.
Agree Will - to enter that market/region now at the current price levels (assuming you could get property for sale), would most likely be a relatively "not so profitable" gain - tho prob still good for a doubling of investment over 3 years.

Still buying almost anything in the region as long at the pricing is rational, but obviously getting harder to do. The purpose is more than just "investment" - tho it does currently churn over around $3 mill capital gain annually - and is more a longer-term project involving international orgs as well as the investment side.

Tho - there is plenty more regions like that, tho you do have to "know" the area inside out. A friend just laid out .. think almost $6 mill (including some promo campaign) on some really basic land, plotted this and sold all plots for..around $47 million in 11 months - not bad - but that is pure hardcore development. So the opps are still there.
