I don't believe this segment was a balanced presentation of the situation.But here's my REAL question: When did we as a nation deputize landlords to be the last line of defense for addressing all the ills of poverty in our society?

I attended a real estate networking event this evening in my hometown of San Diego, CA, and during a segment where we each stood up and introduced ourselves to the group, I mentioned that I was interested in doing the BRRRR strategy and purchasing my first rental property in Ohio by the end of 2019 - someone in the crowd shouted out "Mistake!"

Put differently, I think the single-family home segment is in a bitcoin moment, where prices are skyrocketing because of demand that will vanish and become a rush to the exit.

It is crazy to see how some people act in this segment of the industry - so I am always happy to see a professional jumping in. 

I'll have to pull in the Census Bureau data and check that out.Perhaps ratios and segments of the four metrics you and @Jason Marcordes mentioned might be telling signals-- for example take certain industry segments (tech, finance, medical maybe?)

What might work is pointing Canva to AirBnb API if they allow it.The benefit to doing it manually is you can add segmentation- I needed that to better understand my target customer (i.e. locals needing temporary place to live and also pet owners).What I'm not strong on is the SEO side and how to enhance it.

The FEMA website is kind of confusing.... everything i seem to plug in shows up in the blue segments which I am guessing means its a flood zone right?

The market segment you're shopping is the hottest as many people are looking to get that entry-level property unfortunately, but if you're willing to put some sweat equity into a fixer-upper that will open up more options for you.

There are some good new motivated segments for owner occupied lists.

The bad news is you'll probably be $4MM+, which is a very slow segment of the market with about 3 years of inventory currently. $2-3MM seems to be the sweet spot.
