I wondered why the City of South Bend would hire an out of town company for the study until I looked at their national client list which includes over 450 reports for builders, developers, cities, non-profits, planners, investors, lenders, small companies and development subsidiaries of several Fortune 100 companies.You can read the report here https://www.southbendin.gov/sites/default/files/fi...The report is mainly about the residential market potential of downtown South Bend but the gist of it as it relates to your question is that on page 5 it states that approximately 60% of the households in the entire City of South Bend are owner occupied and 40% are tenant occupied.The US Census Bureau data confirms this with their latest data showing appx 59% owner occupants and 41% tenant occupied here:  https://www.census.gov/quickfacts/table/PST045215/...

Since 1981, the Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers has collected data on the types of homes purchased throughout the three-and-a-half decades.

@Rick - I pulled the data from the probate office and it appropriately references the executor's capacity.

Dish some data? 

As a fellow PM, we know there is never a perfect way to run a project, different tactics, tools, and methodology are required every time.

The coastal areas have decent markets mostly driven by tourism and retirement communities.

And yes I know the more data you have the closer you are to an actual number but I know people have been at this for 20 or 30 years on here and have some good hard numbers and I'm searching for them!

Association Reserves, typically has this data on their website but I've included an excerpt from our reserve study below.

Through market data I can't see internal or structural issues so considering the homes in this area are older that may be the culprit for the price inconsistency.

I don't want to give away any secrets on a public forum, but there are multiple studies/surveys/data from sources such as realtor.com that show Chicago in the top 10 cities to flip properties w/ median income of $76K per flip.
