My name is Ethan, I am a brand new college student and I have been kind of stunned by what I have heard on BP, as I have listened and read books through High School.

I'm calling it the "other"camp because I don't know if we should call it the "boom camp" or merely the "no bust" camp or maybe the "neither bust nor boom camp".In think that both cases have already been laid out in this thread so I'm going to focus on your reasoning and question, as well as a more qualitative perspective.You start in the bust camp and then you're talking about buying there because you seem to think the bust is going to be followed by a boom I was stunned by the reversal.

Sizable community with stunning scenery.

Mitchell is simply stunning and a vacation haven for rentals.An unrenovated cabin anywhere in this area with a great mountain or water views can easily command $250-$300/night and up.
