But, I’ll leave you with this... population and population forecasts and jobs and job forecasts are primary drivers of price appreciation in real estate.  

I have no experience with owning a route, however, I work for USPS and often talk to the FedEx drivers.

I don't know much about amazon I wouldn't even say that's a driver in that small market. columbus as a whole is the driver not amazon. 

Here's another feature that greatly boosts the app's value - the ability to form a team of drivers and track their routes.Justifies the price for me!

The views and opinions of all of the future Uber drivers from Columbus do not necessarily represent the views and opinions of the few skilled Real Estate Brokers in Ohio.

One of the main drivers of this dilemma is the low 1bd/1ba garage conversion and $30k seems like a large cost for one element of a 350 sq ft conversion. 

If your main driver is saving money please pay the professionals.

While SU is a huge driver for the area, we have a lot of other economic drivers, including the two new Amazon facilities, but also newer companies such as TCGPlayer and Spincar, along with a multitude of new drone companies which are here for the expanding Tech Garden and the drone corridor which runs from Syracuse to Rome, NY.  

Cap Rates really don't apply to residential so drivers are going to be much more about credit and value - if commercial, its a whole different thing - more about cap rate cash flow metrics etc

Is there unlimited new construction that would drive rents and appreciation down?
