NOW, I would never do any of that because I make more money finding deals and rehabbing properties.DISCLAIMER: I do have a finance degree(concentration real estate), and I had at least 3 years working for a property manager and developer.

The commissions here are too small to be meaningful unless I concentrate on southern or mid-coast Maine and no, that's not my cup of tea. 

Short term dip, possibly no effect on the far west (interstate) side, long term Kenosha / Pleasant Prairie will continue seeing people sneak across the border from IL, which will buoy prices  Most of the damage has been concentrated in downtown and uptown...I would wager most BP members would be looking elsewhere in Kenosha anyway to invest  After night 3 of riots (when a double homicide occurred), night 4 was peaceful and the law enforcement is now so significant I anticipate (fingers crossed) things will subside  As always, best time to buy something good is when it has hair on it in the headlines. 

Since I don't live in Indy and don't know it as well, I pretty much just try to create cash flow and don't concentrate or look at property appreciation too much.

Need to figure out what strategy you want first and concentrate on that. 

I would concentrate on what you want to focus on in real estate. 

You could be a loan wolf just doing your own thing or you could not even concentrate on buying/selling RE and instead focus on attracting agents to hang their license under you and then assist them.

Hello, I've a concentrated stock position and looking to diversity out.

For brrr or flip, concentrate  on Jackson, perry, Glen oak(plain local) school districts.

There is immense value in this kind of local concentration for me.
