The other thing I look at it is not just the population, but the proximity to the closest major metro area, I have that in my lookup table as well.

If your economy makes money you make money , vice versa.If you want to compare the relative return of syndication with public investment, the closest would be apartment REIT or NNN REIT.

So don’t go to a steak house and order salad, hire a realtor to do real estate.

About the closest you can get would be to do a 1031 and sell and buy another piece of real estate. 

Coffee, how about a steak dinner with my chose of partner.My time for an hourCoffee $6. ?

The closest city to me is 2 hours away.

Union College, the closest college to the neighborhood at one point allowed the students to rent of campus but has recently (past couple of years) I believe; have stopped encouraging students from renting off campus.

I want to pay off the balance then find closest relative and do a subject 2 ownership exchange fix it up rent it out then give it back to the family if they want it or sale it later.

The closest crawlspace access was about 60 feet away and I'm claustrophobic.

The closest town is Albany, which is a dump.
