Emerging real estate markets are the real estate investor’s Holy Grail. Finding one, getting in there fast and coming out at the right time means that your bank balance will look incredibly healthy.
This is exactly why when it comes to spotting an emerging market the savvy real estate investor has to develop techniques which allow him to recognise it quickly, get in there and assess it and start working to make big money fast.
I know the obvious question here is how do you do that exactly and I will hasten to confirm that it is no secret. There are many factors which are a dead giveaway that an emerging real estate market is happening but the one clear indicator, and please note the word indicator I use here, is an influx in state subsidies and local government housing initiatives.
There are many reasons why this is the clearest indicator not least because local government and state initiatives always happen in tandem with private enterprise moves. So, for instance, a new corporation moving into the area, a new factory opening up or new business moving there, always happens after applying for and receiving state and local government approval and this then gives these organisations the advance warning they need to start planning for the development of the infrastructure and the incentives needed long before any one else.
Those who invest in real estate learn to be on the look out for such signs and subscribe, as a matter of routine, to many alerts in state areas where such investments may be happening.
The point here is that you should not jump at every such initiative as a matter of course but develop, instead, the ability to strategically assess each early warning you get in terms of what else is happening in order to identify that it is actually a true emerging market.
The moment you are fairly certain, and please note that 100% certainty on an emerging real estate market happens always after the market has matured and the opportunity has been missed, you can swing into action contacting those who are interested in getting into such markets so they can start putting the money together and you can start focussing on what real estate investors do best: identifying good deals and closing them fast.
Those who know me already are aware that I have often made a killing on emerging real estate markets because I was the first one to spot them, move in and then get out. None of this was luck. I worked at getting the information I needed early enough for me to make an accurate assessment and an appraisal of the risks involved and then I moved in.
The point is that if you are diligent in putting out feelers in the first place that alert you of the changes and opportunities as they emerge you are then in prime position to capitalise on this ahead of everyone else.

You will need an inventory of furniture usually stored at a storage center.
You will need people to be able to deliver and pick up the furniture.
You will need money to advertise your services.
I would focus on advertising to Realtors because they will usually advise their clients on staging the property.

thank you. always a great refresher. you must go with times of the market too..like 12 month comps maximum. 6 months is what most like to use. however in a down turn market 90 days is truly best.
Simply get Quicken Rental Property Manager and migrate your current data into the program. You should be able to find it on sale for about $65.
Me and my husband moved from Pendleton to the Jacksonville, NC area about 1 year ago…we used a realtor from a Century 21 office right outside the main gate of Camp Lejeune.
The realtor we used was Uriah Bell…he did an excellent job for us! He helped us find a home in our price range & close to the base so my husband didn't have to drive too far in the mornings on his way to work.
I found an ad with his information on it on this webpage:

Maybe the process you are talking about is prospecting.
I set up some sort of systematic way of finding properties that the owners want to sell and talk those owners into listing them with me for sale- that would be what I call prospecting.
Yes the Real Estate agent or Broker can buy one of these homes themselves. I would imagine a trial court would decide that an agent can not buy a house for themselves and still pretend they are somehow representing the best interest of the owner- but with the proper disclosure the owner could still sell the house to the agent.
I had a listing where the elderly resident could not remember that her home was for sale and wondered how come people would show up. I met with the lady and her grown children and I agreed to buy the house at a slightly lower price and help the lady move on.
You ever heard the saying "when the student is ready the master will appear", well its a bunch of bull.
I was looking for a mentor when I first got started with this, but the only "mentor" that was forthcoming were various books on the subject. I'd suggest just reading and reading different books – don't take any of the classes hyped on late night tv, as they are way to expensive and no better (often much worse) than what you can get from a book. Then go get a real estate license – you really gotta have this to get access to the info on what houses are worth, and to be able to flip them with no (no at least less) commissions.
Then when you are ready and think you have foudn the right place, go ahead and start putting in contracts. The rule I used was that for every 10 bids I put in I would actually end up with one place. If I was winning more than 1 in 10 I was bidding to high (but this may vary depending on the market and such – if you find the right place at a fantastic price, go ahead and bid full price – if you don't someone else will).
Expect to make mistakes on the first few, just make sure there are fewer mistakes on each subsequent one and the mistakes cost you less.
So, just go out and do this yourself. Forget about finding a mentor, its up to you to make this happen, and I'd suggest staying away from partners too – that rarely works out as well.
Good luck.
You didn't state where in Southern California but there is even a smaller nice market for the structural insulated panel systems you are talking about. Eco-friendly products have not been a big hit yet as most people aren't up to date with information. The market everywhere is down even in places like Indiana because the state is making its own changes in regards to how the real estate market's effects have taken hold here.
Southern California is where I would stay due to the fact that there isn't a quick fix for the market and I don't see other states improving anytime soon. Besides even though commission is the same everywhere (in most cases) the houses are easily sold in California than say Indiana because the people who live in Indiana want to move to say California because of the climate,more things for them to do and a better opportunity for employment.
No it's not wrong at all, you've got to find someone you like and can trust, and it's not always the first, second, or third agent you meet. Find the one that offers the best service, or get referrals from people close to you that you trust, and do some homework before signing a contract w/them.
If it sounds too good to be true, it is.
If the properties are listed that cheap, there are a host of things that could be wrong with them. Most likely, they should be condemned and the only value is the land.
