There's a large presence of blue collar workers with a strong rental demand.

What cannot change, is that the mortgage industry and profession is challenging and demanding.

Generally speaking, as crime rates trend down, the demand ratio often trends upward, but it is not a given. 

Conventional wisdom would have said with rates so high (comparatively speaking to where they were) demand and prices would have lessened in more places and more quickly but in many places prices have held steady even as inventory creeps up.

I created the maps above to determine which neighborhoods in Youngstown and surrounding areas had the highest demand and the most potential.

You will need to show gross negligence to even think about sending him a demand letter.

So logic dictates that eventually demand will exceed supply in greater numbers within the next few years and we might start seeing higher rent growth/appreciation again.However, I don't know that it means you should lose money every month in the hopes that eventually happen.

Also if you don't know, there is a relatively new and expanding Navy base near by, increasing active duty military demand for housing.

In terms of location, the proximity to a cemetery might deter some people, others might not mind it, especially if rental properties are in high demand.

If you buy the "on sale" office building, it will cost some money to convert, but if the savings is there on the initial buy price to more than make up for it...And then let's say 5 or 10 years from now the "work from home" fad is over and offices are in demand again.
