Given how many people are migrating here from Southern California and the Bay Area, do you think this is a sign for their markets having issues as well?  

However, I expect it to continue growing in the long term due to a multitude of factors like increase immigration from South America and national migration especially from the NY/NJ area.

And throw in a demographic curve ball that has migration into Florida net positive (while places like OR and CA are net negative).  

Of course I'm inconsistent, I usually will take a personal check and not insist on a bank check.I'm also considering migrating to Zillow for new tenants, I find the Apartments.com interface exasperating to navigate and find functions. 

I feel investors will migrate more away from syndications towards funds as funds provide a better solution. 

That migration helped push small, affordable markets to the top of the  The Wall Street Journal/Realtor.com Emerging Housing Markets Index in the second quarter.Read FULL STORY

Per this NY Times article, the average American knows around 600 people.https://www.nytimes.com/2013/02/19/science/the-average-american-knows-how-many-people.html#:~:text=The%20average%20American%20knows%20about,do%20you%20know%20named%20Kevin%3FPer the US Census Bureau, the average American moves 11.7 time in their life, which based upon an approximate lifespan of 84 years, works out to be about every 7 years.https://www.census.gov/topics/population/migration/guidance/calculating-migration-expectancy.html#:~:text=Using%202007%20ACS%20data%2C%20it,one%20move%20per%20single%20yearSo, if the average American knows 600 people and they each move about every 7 years, that means that the average American knows around 85 people that move in any given year.How many of those moves do you want to be involved in?

Net migration flows to Hagerstown are positive.
