There are some maps available but as I mentioned in a previous post, as up and coming areas are changing rapidly, the best resource is boots on the ground and working with an agent that stays on top of market changes.  

As you mentioned with rapid expansion and a housing deficit (less housing i.e. more demand for self storage to stow their stuff), what type of client will you attract?

While they might look like cash flow kings, the cash flow is often diminished greatly due to repairs and lack of payment by tenants.When you look at areas, the classifications are very similar, with the same A, B, C, and D area class as follows:A – newer growth areasB – older, stable areasC – older, declining, or stable areasD – older, declining, potentially rapidly declining areas

And since you're using all of the assets to pay down the others more rapidly you could still very easily be debt free in a short period of time.Obviously you'll have to look at the actual numbers on not only what you'll be bringing in, but also what you would be looking to borrow to do it.

If you wanted to invest in student housing I might suggest the neighborhoods around U of M Lambuth, That school is expanding fairly rapidly. 

This causes the government to become bloated and inefficient and economic growth rapidly slows down.

Cons: utility bills when you have to run the system for 1 hour for every 10 degrees if temp, hardware failures every so many years, drowning danger, maintenance in off season, heat bills in off season, rapid water evaporation in summer.

.$34k all-in with $950 gross income more than beats the 2% rule which will almost always guarantee positive cash flow.The beauty of this deal is that it will be free and clear very rapidly, so little cash flow today, huge cash flow down the short road.For me, I would rather properly leverage this keeping more cash in my pocket as cash flow nad more cash for other deals rather than trying to pay it off so quick.

It is based on job growth and loss, fraud, etc.Rank City Annualized Home Price Appreciation1 Bakersfield CA -16.9% 2 Stockton CA -18.7% 3 Fresno CA -16.2% 4 Warren MI -7.1% 5 Grand Rapids MI -5.8% 6 Riverside CA -16.8% 7 Sacramento CA -15.1% 8 Detroit MI -0.8 9 McAllen TX 2.6% 10 Youngstown OH -9.6%Looks like it might be a buyer's market in California and Michigan this coming year.

While this may be a small portion of overall sales, when this money is targeted in one specific area, rapid price increases can unfold.
