Blackfoot Idaho Rental Properties

[Monika Christensen]

Anyone on here invest in or around Blackfoot Idaho or know much about the market? We are considering purchasing a duplex there which is renting out for $800 a side right now but we are a bit concerned about being able to consistently rent it, and if the area will grow enough in 10 to 15 years to increase our equity at all.

I invest/live in Pocatello. Both Pocatello and Idaho Falls are growing a ton and there is a shortage of housing and the market is really hot. You shouldn’t have any problem keeping them rented. Invest for cashflow and not appreciation and you will be fine. Just curious where you are finding this deal. There are no duplexes in BFT on the mls.
