(my) reply was not meant to be purely sarcastic or to reflect too much time on my hands... It was simply to illustrate that, your question as posed, is WAY too broad... Narrow it down and I'm sure you'll get some valuable input: Are you thinking of investing in or outside of town? Residential or commercial? North or South? Beachfront? Raw land? Condo? What's the purpose of your investment? Vacation home? Investment to flip? Potential business??? You'll find that there are regulars on this board who have a LOT of experience they are willing to share... helps to do your homework first though so you can ask the right questions.
