Maybe never in CO but other areas have seen it happen.Personally I am always trying to tell others that they need to look carefully in any area no matter how attractive the deals are.I agree that you need to work with an agent who knows the lay of the land.

Those areas usually attract crappy tenants who don't pay rent. 

Competitors, local events that attract crowd, pricelabs, seasonality, weather events, your unit profile..

And a lot of start-up companies are migrating to this city as well because of the OSU campus that has thousands of talented students graduating and looking for positions locally.Everything that’s going on here in Columbus is attracting investors and other businesses from all over.

This seems to be true whether it's CA, TX, AZ or OH - IN or GA.Apparently wholesaling isn't as easy as everybody thinks and are willing to pay big bucks to "learn".Obviously the decline has hit the information provider's customer base that they sell information to, and hurt their bottom line.

However, they're a free software and provide excellent customer support so I still stand by them.

I can't speak of other type locations, but here by the beach, a tiny home located close to the beach can be a very attractive rental.

If I went to the investor and said "hey, I'll pay you $x amount per month to keep living here with the intention of buying it later" would that be an attractive offer?

Makes sense though - it's like pricing, it's very easy to price units in a condo building since they are all so similiar vs a custom home which can be very difficult to evaluate. 

Tends to attract a younger /trendy crowd.
