And when it does, it will like the game of musical chairs...those who were betting on a rising market to make money will be the ones left without a chair.

My question is, are they creating excess noise through their activities (loud music, exercise, kids playing, etc.) or is the condo so poorly built that ordinary noise travels easily?

There are several strong community groups that have food truck events, live music, community garden days and all sorts of other events to build a sense of community, it's got all the right ingredients primed to take off.

Music to your ears I assume. 

I've had quite a bit of business finance and working with investors in my previous field but, am new to CRE funding (anxious to learn).I also own a patent related to music technology that I hope to launch with the profits in my new venture in CRE.Looks like a great site!

i was down there back in march and loved the booming downtown, general accessibility of the city, and the things you guys mentioned above. i like the small town vibe n thriving music scene, too. i live in the city (nyc/sf) where nothing in remotely affordable but i've lived in/visited to a bunch of small towns across us (austin, portland, seattle, denver, nashville, richmond, blacksburg, etc). my buddy lives down there (last 7 years) n knows the area but wanted to get a broader opinion and to build a network..on the east coast, my $ goes further in greensboro than say slum-lording around the DMV (pg county, bmore..)i essentially wanna leverage up while i have income, while rates are low...also, i like small towns..my priorities are likely, -stability-location (convenience, families)-uniqueness (like the southern bungalows vibe and trees..

I haven't listened to music on my commute in months.

This is called "fair use" and simply sharing it is a violation of copyright law (just like with music)...In summary - @Ken Risheldidn't slander you, he let you know you don't know what you're talking about.  

Sounds like Tyler has mastered the knack of knowing the right people and what makes them tick (freedom to work on their own schedule/at own pace, happened to have the month off, fun/relaxed work site, got to listen to loud rock music & have BBQs, they all went to school together, their Moms are friends, they are between jobs, whatever).
