As an example, I can see in my regions that most of the listings on page one are either low-cost superhost or new listings: two segments that AirBnB has a vested interest in promoting on their platform. 

And, you will need multiple reliable tenants over the years you hold the property.The best way to consistently have a reliable tenant in your property is to select a tenant segment with a high concentration of reliable tenants.

Besides usual skill set of construction, real estate and managerial knowledge and ability requires local market knowledge and property segment knowledge. 5.

Looking at a three or four year segment of time can be powerfully misleading.    

Smaller cities may be too dependent on a single employer or market segment, which can lead to instability over the long run.Both state and metro populations are increasing.

The city I live in (Rome) is extremely competitive in the property management segment so growth will take time along with finding some competitive edge.

Baltimore has always been a very segmented city by neighborhood.

Riverside has historically been hit hard when RE markets turn down, but, this was due to the fact that the job market was not as robust for the blue collar workers and a large segment commuted to OC and LA and moved back to were the jobs were, this has changed over the years and with more blue collar jobs offered locally we should (cross your fingers) not be quite as bad during future down turns.

So, the market segment instability of the tenant’s employers is an important consideration.It's not just about the jobs that your tenants have today.

Therefore, if your property targets low-income workers, there is a high probability that your property will have extended vacancies during economic downturns.We target a tenant segment who are direct income producers that are difficult to replace.
