To add to this, a lot of Wholesalers or agents from New Western deal specifically with lower class Real Estate, because like Stuart mentioned it is the lowest barrier to entry and typically easier to convince sellers of that property class to sell under their conditions.

I wouldn't count it out but it's not a C location, it's lower. 

The lower under 70% the better obviously, but 70% is a good number where even if it does go up to 75% you have that wiggle room built-in there!

The methodology of the study would not have been able to capture that nuance.Unfortunately, for the last few years, there has been a missed opportunity for Ogden to take advantage of the comparatively lower price points and really cater to smaller pocket books with energy to rehabilitate the old houses.

The new homes will be mostly built in the burbs, and I expect as we move forward outside of many city limits or in smaller cities where the builders can control the narrative with less regulations, less inspections, less red tape, lower requirements.Due to the number of people moving though, we'll see some urban infill as well I expect. 

I have a lower priced 4 unit ($265k value) that is held in an LLC and am currently paying $2200 a year on it.
