Prices are still very affordable and the area is gentrifying rapidly

@Steven KoRegardless of how well capitalized anyone is and what you think may happen as a result of the ongoing issues the world is having, noone has any real idea whats going on or will happen.People have been landlords through recessions, but noone has been a landlord through recession and global economic meltdown and a rapidly spreading virus at the same time.

So the area seems to be growing pretty rapidly as far as price per square is concerned.

Just like the Large REITS will outgrow their market, this smaller market will also consolidate rapidly. 

A lot of the foundation issues are related to the soil drying out and then getting wet rapidly.

I do not plan on rapidly expanding after that.

The biggest price declines have occurred in areas that had the most rapid/highest price increases and the most expensive markets. 

Getting licensed gave me the ability to learn the industry more rapidly and has become a very valuable tool in my toolbox.

Hello, I am currently in Grand Rapids, MI and plan on investing anywhere in Michigan.

Thank you everyone for the rapid responses and your help.
