Tampa 5 – 10 Years in the Future – Economic InvestmentAugust 17, 2018 By Jorge VazquezTampa is already considered one of the best cities to live in the U.S., with plans in place to make it even better.

Also, there are other important things to look at like economic diversity, direction of job growth, the population growth, and job growth to name some of the main reasons. 

Some useful resources I have come across thus far:Cromford Report - Phoenix area (overall real estate market, specific for PHX area)bls.gov (economic information in general)http://www.city-data.com/ (more economic/general information)www.trulia.com (crime, schools, etc.)Are there paid sites/reports that can be found to compare overall markets bullet by bullet for a period of time and over time?

Anyone who is not serious about operating their business-be it agent, broker, wholesaler, LL etc typically falls first in an economic downturn.

.- Refinance costs - I'd have to refi in 5 years and who knows where rates will be- Refinance risk - related to the bullet above, but there is risk around not being able to refi at all due to economic conditions in the future- I can get the commercial loan in my LLC name. 

One thing you look for when retired is something that will keep you cerebral, intellectually stimulated and of course a place to socialize and talk about common interest, this is what Bigger Pockets has become for me.

If you have read it I’m really confused on figure 34 page 182 it’s talking about economics.

I'm not really too big on generating economic losses just to get a tax deduction, too me that is frankly pretty stupid.However, that's OK since I pay very little on my rental income from my various rental properties.

., I am curious about how the rental incomes performed during the economic downturn.

@Dennis M.Always, the visionaries pay the price for economic and social short-sightedness.
