Inside Real Estates Black Hole In Search Of Fantastic Opportunities

Buy the real estate that is holding up and aligned with macroeconomic trends:
Midwest farmland
Oil patch (e.g. Texas, Alberta)
Former doldrums e.g. Germany, Japan
Anywhere near thriving mining/commodity areas e.g. Darwin, Australia
Sugar plantations
These will stay relatively undervalued due to the overall real estate difficulties, yet they will hold up and probably rise despite the overall market getting killed.
"Normal" real estate is still not at a bottom.

I'm in west Texas and the market is OK here, there are a few good deals out there for someone who can handle a big remodel job, probably marginal if all the work has to be contracted out.

There is rebuilding of some cities, street scapes, building rehabbed, many store fronts are empty, seemingly waiting for the mad rush back down town at some point in the future.
I'm reading this book "The Death and Life of Great American Cities" Jane Jacobs. (14.95 @ Borders) This is the greatest real estate book I've ever read and has many applications of re business.
This book tells why sidewalks work, playgrounds work, the effects of transportation (vehicle and pedestrian) why inner city projects continually fail, how to recognize the unslumming of an area, you name it, if it affects an urban area, this book covers it.
I'm telling you, if you read this book, you'll drive down the street and just look at the businesses, structures that are there and get an approximate land value and long term potential.
This is important as the retiring generation seeks out downtown to move to. The downtown could be a great big flop for your dollar if all the pieces do not fall into place. It may look nice but will lack the diversity that makes it work.

Driggs Idaho? Is this the town right on the Wyoming border? I think I went there after a ski trip to Targhee. Pretty place, but it was tiny when I was there about a decade ago.
I could live there though.
