I remember when agents used to drive people around showing them listings. 

Home values here have been rising steadily, and the area appeals to long-term homeowners, driving appreciation.

I've found the area to be incredibly over-saturated with rentals, really driving down nightly rates and occupancy.

Hey @Ashley Wong,I don’t have much insight into Columbus or Tulsa, but I run a turnkey provider in Huntsville and can vouch for the area—for two reasons.First, Huntsville’s strong demographic headwinds have led to steady and sustainable population growth (+20% in the last decade), while the city’s abundance of high-quality STEM jobs—brought to the area by industry heavyweights like Dynetics, Boeing, FBI, Redstone Arsenal, Blue Origin, and others—have attracted numerous well-heeled millennial renters.

There is a lot of business being built and I feel as if it will drive people out East.

YOU drive every single property before you bid. 

The Fed is driving the economy with their policy and is trying their best to slow the economy down.  

After a while, you will know just from looking at the listing or a drive by if you are in the ball park. 

Show current rent rates versus other drive up competition.  

Hi Natasha, these areas in Columbus—North Linden, South of Main, Vassor Village, Woodland Park, MT Vernon, Milo-Grogan, Franklinton, Merrion Village, Hungarian Village, Southern Orchards, Driving Park, Olde Towne East, Franklin Park, King Lincoln, Old Oaks, and Livingston Park—are prime spots for quick gentrification and great long-term buy and holds.
