Note: I'll caveat: I believe that other factors should be considered when analyzing the market as well (i.e. economic growth/stability, low crime rate, affordability, etc.)

Look at rent growth trends, vacancy rates, and the area’s economic drivers.

Baltimore City has a massive vacant housing crisis (no surprise there!).

He calles them "poor people" "economically disadvantaged" He threatened to evict them if they don't rent his appliances like used ceiling fans.

Glass Steagall is why we there was no economic collapse for over 80 years.

Paying hourly for a CPA is more economical than per-document fees, but even then, disorganization costs you.

If you want appreciation, identify markets with expanding industries, positive growth trends, and bright economic forecasts.Columbus, Ohio is a great market to consider if you're looking for appreciation markets that still cash flow.

A combination of extremely tough long term tenant protections and the economics of short term renting being a lot more attractive. 

If funds for the program are reduced or eliminated it would create a national housing crisis, so generally it just gets carried at about the same level each year.Yes, local governments run out of funds which is why they close their lists or the wait time is very long. 

They use an economic vacancy figure instead of breaking out loss to lease, bad debt, and concessions so as to conceal their assumptions but a skilled operators can reverse calc it.
