Unfortunately, many regulations, such as design standards, go far beyond important safety concerns, and impose costly mandates on developers that drive housing costs higher.

I think it's more psychological than meaningful right now, but rates will continue to drop.

For those who don't know the market its not a place you want to drive through at night. 

It's located 9.5 hours of a rough mountain drive so work would be difficult until spring.  

I have a buddy that's very successful in D Class areas.He drives around all day putting out fires, getting in literal fist fights from time to time, throwing people out of their apartments or changing locks when they leave, constantly breaking the law because they are "civil matters" and he knows the tenants won't come after him, and shaking folks down for late rent.I'm sure folks in A Class areas are doing the same, right?

Drive these places and get to know them.

Only nearby city that rivals it is Amarillo (2.5hr drive north) and it does not have anywhere near the education infrastructure or $$$ inflow Lubbock has (at least not yet) with Texas Tech and associated schools, SPCC, LCU.

Have you noticed that your social media videos actually drive conversions, or are they just generating views?

It also fits your budget & also I know some of some above 1,300 sqft, good boned, central air, yard space/drive way space having on & off market single & multifamilies in that price range.
