Families try extremely hard to get into these areas just so that their children can study at these schools: Ottawa Hills Schools #8 School district in OhioPerrysburg City Schools #22 school district in Ohio Anthony Wayne #27 school district in OhioSylvania City Schools #32 school district in OhioThe second amenity I want to point out is the job diversity.

I personally want to be in a less conservative more diverse environment for my primary residence but definitely recognize the value of owning property here.I know it’s a great market for rentals.

I hear the judge ask if they want to participate in the eviction diversion program.  

Look for strong diverse job and population growth.  

It is a economically and culturally diverse area with lots to do even in the 90s.

I like deals where value upside is realized much quicker and with smaller deals you can have diversity across multiple projects instead of trying to hit a grand slam with one humongous one.Syndicators tend to like larger deals because it amplifies their going in fee. 20 million at 2% is 400k on the front end versus say 30k or 3% on a 1 million deal.My smaller deals I split upside 50/50.

Comps are difficult since single family homes are so diverse mixed with vacation properties on this river. 

Personally, I would put more emphasis on net migration, employer diversity, job growth, and absorption rate than simply the amount of population in a sub-market.

It's small enough right now so that institutional investors haven't taken over, but big enough to support the diverse economy. 

Avoid the gurus, and focus on the basics of doing well in school, learn how to build solid relationships with people of diverse ages and professions, use your time purposefully to accomplish achievable goals, and get a humble job (one you turn 16) that gives you some income so you can learn to manage it well.
