Your duty to the seller is what drives this.

While selling in Rochester and investing in states closer to Chicago would still require finding a reliable PM and likely making improvements, the advantage is that these new investments would be in a market that I can occasionally drive to.

Once the new supply is absorbed, and we are seeing rent growth again, which supply and demand is all but guaranteeing, not only will our project benefit from stronger rent growth, but also appreciation will accelerate as more buyers will come in helping drive up prices."

Tech and manufacturing job growth is spurring a shortage that is continuing to drive rents and prices up. 

There has been significant growth, especially with tech giants  driving up property prices and job opportunities.

I personally like to invest in Old North, Old Town East/King Lincoln Bronze Ville, Merion Village, Driving Park, North Linden, Hungarian Village, Bexley, and North Hilltop.

I would not expect that demand to drive up the price in a crazy way but let's say there's some $700,000 4-unit properties in some markets that are sitting for a long time - those will sell faster. 

Recently there have been some issues with drunk driving (primarily on The Strip). 

I even went out to Memphis last year to drive by my properties and meet with MidSouth. 

Partner Driven was interested in the Finsbury Drive deal in Spring Hill, FL, due to its high profit potential.
