Investing in the market that you have knowledge of and the economic factors that support it is necessary. 

Qualified applicants that get priced out of rapidly improving neighborhoods will move into these areas but it seems like they aren’t biting.High quality, lower income applicants aren’t stupid and they won’t settle.If you think this area is a losing proposition, I would think about selling and not banking on hope.In regard to vacancy, I don’t consider any area that has average occupancy (economic and physical) below 95%You might pay more for a better area but time will treat you right and you’ll make a ton of money in equity over the long term.

I've just heard that from many people over the years.In general, SC is experiencing an economic renaissance, so it is a good time to invest here. 

I think we all get fatigued from time to time, and I think it's worse when things are "slow" because of economics or demographics or whatever.

I've helped 6-7 different investors move money from Oregon to Wyoming in the last 15 years and they are all happy they made the move.Consider finding a market that has a better long-term outlook, economically and legally.

The city of Cairo and Alexander County as a whole are in a very depressed economic situation.

@Mindy Jensen it seems that my messages are inaccessible as well for some reason

Rent control advocates will state it is greedy landlords because they have zero knowledge of basic economics.

I'm an investor here in Columbus OH myself and have seen the city's solid and steady growth with strong economic fundamentals driving the market like major companies moving here (Meta, Intel, Google, Amazon, etc), job growth, and population growth.

With markets adapting to changing economic conditions, now is the time to explore innovative investment strategies.
