Cost of Living, population movements away from your markets.

However, since they are often unoccupied with an occasional 1 or 2 people staying there for a night, I think they pretty much stay below the radar, especially if the tenants behave themselves (park in designated areas, keep their commuter car in decent running condition, keep the noise down, behave courteously to the neighbors, etc.).Remember (I really hate to pass judgement or perpetuate stereotypes) your typical crashpad tenant is going to be a professional aircrew member that has been screened by their company for certain standards of character, reliability, ethical behavior, and so on.

Still, I don't think it's the pricing under normal situations which is causing this, as other friends/landlords have noticed very little interest as well.I'm not noticing that much movement/pricing drops for other places. 

If you have any light to shed on the growth, market movement and of course resources for a good loan/prop manager that would be helpful.

any movement on this?

No, I'm not interested in being part of the movement to push people out of their homes, but instead, invest in Detroit Land Bank abandoned properties and flipping them efficiently.I work remotely in the advocacy+political world, so I could technically live anywhere.
