I been reading “Recession Proof Real Estate Investing” by J Scott (great book), and now I’m looking to explore the Market Analysis area.Does anyone have recommendations on a book / other knowledge source I should check on?

If this tracks anything like previous recessions, which it may not, there may be 6-18 months of negative or flat rent growth followed by a few years of exceptionally strong growth in the 4-6% range We're focusing on the fundementals and by buying on actuals not proforma.

Especially with the starting of a possibly major recession, I think ATL is a great place to be.

Low cost of entry, diverse economy, stable values throughout previous recessions, the list goes on.

@Tim Jones also interested in tracking vs recession - following both national GDP growth and unemployment growth numbers. 

I guess I could also say they run a recession proof economy with the vast list of government contractors out there.

Although I do not have a crystal ball, it is my opinion that there would only be recession in certain parts of the country, whereas others would actually see an increase.

Their value increases as pandemics or recessions take place. 

I only buy SFR.BUT, and more importantly, rents went from about $1000-1100 before the recession (because people could  own house if they were breathing for $1200) UP to about $1300-1500 during the recession because nobody who lost their house wanted to move their family in to an apartment. 

So we're scrambling to find rentals in the DC area for her, but it looks like an investment opportunity for us.Residential Price Snapshot: There have been lots of posts with dire predictions about the impact of this recession on Real Estate Prices, yet 3 of the last 5 recessions there was no impact on Real Estate prices.
