I come for a production home background and have built over 500 tract homes.  

The Seller says the tenants have a perfect tract record of paying rent.

The first I bought in a new construction subdivision from a large "tract" home builder.

The home sits on a 4.8 acre tract and has another 4.9 acre tract next to it.

I always wanted to be on the fast tract to freedom. 

The house was built in 1958 in a large tract of homes, had been a farm before that.

So the buyers, must accept the fact they over-extended themselves, just like the lenders these days need to realize they did some really stupid loans.Here in Chicago we had a ton of people buy these sprawling tract homes in the far suburbs of Chicago that had HUGE kitchens and master suites, etc.

I worked in new construction clean-up for a tract builder I kept seeing so many things in the new homes that drove me crazy so I would make a list everyday for the builder.

It has to be improved, somehow.Questions to ask yourself and get answers to, before you'll get any meaningful answers from the forum or your local real estate community:-How large is the tract/parcel?

Seems like who can boast the most about their Midwest location...LOL6 professional sports teams, regional health care center in a 4 state area, federal reserve is up in KC, more shore line on lakes than the Pacific coast in Cali, oh, and I live in the area, LOLHere's an odd stat, most who moved out of MO a few years ago moved to Cali and then, most who moved out of CA moved to MO, guess they decided to come back.....actually not, more moved out of CA and came to MO.Center of the US population is about 50 miles east of me.To housing, it's pretty affordable, tons of 3/2s 90 to 120K, but you can certainly go up, one of (or the) largest home owner occupied is about 10 miles south of me, some tech billionaire building a rock castle.Look for a diversified economy, health, education, manufacturing, tech, financial services and retail to drive your economy, pretty well in that order and growing here.I also think we'll see much smaller less expensive homes built in the future especially in more rural areas, post WWII tract houses, 1,000 - 1,200 sq ft.
