About MySelfI am a young and an ambitious real estate investor.I am a born and raised Calgary, Canada, but now living in Guadalajara, Mexico.I did my undergraduate degree in Economics and Sociology.

An Applied Business Economics course 8.

So to break down the numbers in one line, from the Census Bureau link, the City of South Bend has a population of 101,516, a total of 46,324 housing units (as of the year 2010) of which 18,530 are rentals with a median gross rent of $711.00.As far as the economic profile, since all those tenants need a job so that they can pay the rent :) here is a cut and paste summary of the area by the St.

That means that values may go flat here in Tampa where we lost up to 60% of property value during the 2008 to 2010 Economic Collapse.

If the area takes an economic hit, these small secondary markets (and your tenants and you) will be the first to suffer.Like i said, if you end up investing in a market with 2,000 people, I'm confident you'll agree with my comments above.   

For Iowa, the area is economically depressed and you may have difficulty just renting it.. 

., how did you arrive or decide at 12% economic loss?

People will move from the relative poverty of the farm to the new cities and wallah a whole new economic sector will spring up. 

@Lucky TidermanI believed the demand of housing is a result of economical activities.

@Stephen Anderson SInce I am out of state I would need reliable property managers and need to know the economics of the same so that I can plug into my financial analysis.
