Alabama is one of the lowest property tax states; however, Huntsville specifically has appreciated rapidly over the past 10 years, so assessed values are artificially low... and a re-assessment will result in huge property tax numbers vs. in-place numbers. 

I’m also a big fan of having a method to accumulate nice chunks of cash, rapidly, without borrowing (especially hard money).May you have Great Fortune in your Endeavors!

According to my inside source a huge hedge fund had agreed that they would not began unloading property until late August has moved up the date rapidly and are now unloading 150 of their properties right now!

The DFW market heated up rapidly in 2013-2016 and has cooled slightly over winter.

I live and invest in Cedar Rapids.

Texas (Austin) advantage is that 157 net people are moving in the Metro Plex a day, property values compared to the nation are relatively priced low (except in downtown Austin rapidly approaching California pricing), and we still have LOW INTEREST RATES.  

@Manon Sheiman I don't know where in KC you are looking, probably the metro area but where we invest the schools are all 9 and 10s, huge growth, very reasonable home pricing and rapidly increasing rents. 

In my opinion even if the hedge funds decided to start selling they wouldn't flood the market and sell all at once as it would only devalue their own assests in the process.The inventory increases we are seeing are returning the market to a more healthy supply and demand levels...it is only concerning if it continues to increase at this rapid rate for a long period of time.

So I have been researching areas like Houston and Phoenix and Grand Rapids.  

I could be wrong though, I can see rapid steelers fans doing a lot of bookings.There is a developing area within walking distance of stadiums, casino and major hospital and museums, but half are rehabbed and half are rough.any insight would be helpful!
