Even if the property is centered in a city with a population of 30k it may be considered rural due to other factors.

I've made it a habit to track Department of City Planning updates and zoning proposals because they often signal where the next hot areas will be.

@Chris McClellan check out some of the great things happening in Detroit this year, one of the best cashflowing and appreciating cities in the US!

I'm curious to hear about your experience here in Boston - I know the Seaport looks like it's own independent city compared to 5 years ago!

In several California cities there is this concept of 'banked rent'; that is rent increases from past years that were not applied.

The waterfront area downtown is beautiful for as far as the eye can see in both directions.As remote work takes hold and knowledge workers look to escape Seattle, I can definitely see it becoming an Austin-esque city in the PNW.

Often overlooked is the premium for storage space in the city.

There are pros and cons to long term and short term from a rental management side, and purchase/acquisition.Long term = lower vacancy, lower expenses, potentially lower revenueShort Term = higher vacancy, higher expenses, potential for higher revenue, financing is more expensive than long term rentalsWatch out for local STR regulations, they vary from city to city.

I guess that means, there is healthy demand for rents in the metroplex.I am curious if there is a city or few Zip codes within Tulsa, Broken arrow, Bixby, Jenks and Owasso, that is preferred by prospective tenants ? 

Are there any on-line government sources of truth for any particular city's future infrastructure/expansion/city planning plans or any private company tracking these initiatives?
