Our suburban Chicago community has so many members we've outgrown our meeting place (where we've been since BEFORE the crash), has weekly study groups to help people understand what they are learning and monthly all-day workshops where one of the instructors from our classes (I believe we are up to 20 instructors now, 49 classes totalling about 500 hours of on-line material available 24/7) comes out and teaches without selling anything.We have other communities around the country, as well.If that's "too good to be true", then good luck to you.One couple in our community just finished a 32-unit project (in four buildings) providing housing for homeless veterans: rents guaranteed by the VA.

most of those areas listed don't appear to be either. and there's more screening of mortgage applicants now. people forget - it was the worst crash in 70 years. 

(I would advise if the answer is yes to make sure no viscous breeds are allowed and also get an extra security deposit and possibly extra monthly rent.)Also, something that helped us that you might want to consider is for your credit check is that the score matters, but we look deeper than the score if there are things that come up (and in New Brit there are usually things that come up).If tenants are skipping out on "modern life essentials" like utility bills, cell phone bills, car payments that is a huge red flag.However, if it is a result of medical bills or student loans (or possibly a foreclosure during the crash) you may want to look past some of those.

My observation is when the market crashes, the A areas has less trouble.

Prior developer went bankrupt during the crash.  

The average 35 year old still lives with their parents in Nj when they should have left by 22 at least Now it's to the point where if may effect markets for renters so should we just let it crash and then buy ?

I know our area hasn't fully recovered since the crash and many houses are still upside down even though this is rapidly changing.

If you see an inflation adjusted declining per capita income you need to carefully consider the long term value of the investment.Inflation adjusted income in Las Vegas has been slowly increasing (except during the 2008 to 2011 crash) and projections are that the increases will continue according to a Federal Reserve Bank study.Ongoing Maintenance CostOngoing maintenance costs can have a significant impact on profitability.

Considering the Cleveland market has been rebounding at a considerable pace, much of the country is also trending upward, in some cases and in certain areas of the country on the west coast as well as the east coast we are seeing pricing exceed market crash levels.

Having lived through a few real estate market crashes, I have found that the commercial properties tend to rebound slower than the residential ones.
