As said above, the area can be considered rural and a desired location for many people relocating into Central Florida.If you are focusing on B & C neighborhoods, I would avoid areas in Lakeland around South Wabash, Skyview and Crystal Lake.  

No one has a crystal ball, but unlike most areas of California, homes are generally affordable for working class people in Bakersfield.

Quote from @Crystal Swenson: Do you put an early termination clause in your lease? 

My crystal ball says we have not reached the peak yet, but natural disaster is hard to predict. 

If you can crystal ball and by inner city areas that are coming back like parts of North Dallas were we do very well on FLIPS only you would never buy those for cash flow because they would be worse than bay area on cash flow. 

Bunch of whiners.  1/2 inch of ice and everyone thinks the Chinese balloons seeded Ice crystals over Texas

I believe the market will start becoming more cash-flow friendly once the market starts to balance out - which could be a few months to a few years, I wish I had a crystal ball to predict this change.

I do not have a crystal ball, so only time will tell how this impacts North Carolina.
