I have purchased both in state and out of state.

Especially for things like population growth/decline, economic trends etc.And what things do you recommend checking when trying to decide whether a location is a good place to invest.

I don't think I can ask the seller to evict prior to purchase, although that would be the best scenario.

Carnegie Mellon creates “$2.7 billion in economic impact each year”.

Qualified applicants that get priced out of rapidly improving neighborhoods will move into these areas but it seems like they aren’t biting.High quality, lower income applicants aren’t stupid and they won’t settle.If you think this area is a losing proposition, I would think about selling and not banking on hope.In regard to vacancy, I don’t consider any area that has average occupancy (economic and physical) below 95%You might pay more for a better area but time will treat you right and you’ll make a ton of money in equity over the long term.

I don't really want to invest in a D-class area.Tangentially, what are some of your "it's time to sell this property" red lines when it comes to the changing economic conditions of an area?

I can leverage my WLI cash value to purchase it outside the banking system.
