Vacancy Rate in Oxford MS

[Jimmy Hung]

Hi BP Members!

I'm looking to invest in Oxford, MS because the crime rate is low and the schools are great. My only concern is the vacancy rate that I see on neighborhood scout which is: 30%. This concerns me because I don't think anyone would want to own a property that sits vacant 4 months of the year. For those who are investors there, is this number accurate? What are your thoughts on this?
