One of the most important numbers to look at is net migration.  

I would initially like to supplement my current income (and hoped to get some tax breaks) with the idea to migrate away from the W2 if this looks like something that I would want to scale.

In the plan, the different areas of the city are "zoned" for different types of development; SFR, multifamily, duplexe, 4-units, condos, commercial, industrial, etc...The city planning department designates the "zoning" depending on the neighborhoods and expected population growth and what type of people are anticipated to be migrating to the area.

Of course using Buildum and QBO will require more work, but it might save time in the long run.If you soley rely on Buildum, you just might have to pay a pro down the road to migrate the data into QBO or the like.- Michael

As an FYI, I migrated from Cozy to Apartments and have had no issues.

With Lee's Summit and the close suburbs being expensive people are migrating out.

But states like AZ, NV, TX and FL will continue to have a housing shortage because of all the migration there from over taxed and regulated states.

With the amount of growth, development, and population migration the City has experienced, I foresee Atlanta becoming somewhat of an expensive market over the next five to ten years.  

I currently migrate between our capital, Victoria, and a small coastal town called Tofino.
