Rent out Transportation: cars, trucks, bikes, hell even a scooter.

so I say check out CL.. and find a used shed, and transport it to your house and make due for the 2 years!   

So we'll try to negotiate a slightly higher number and let our tenants know there is public transportation coming.Again, thank you for all the info!

Look for local news and announcements of large developments, industries moving, new transportation lines, hospital expansions, military base expansions, population growth reports, etc.Some examples:Belleville (my area): huge new commercial development with Costco as anchor store, over 800 new full-time jobs, costco to be done by summer 2020 with the rest following in the next few years.

https://www.houston.org/assets/pdf/economy/Employm...The Partnership’s forecast calls for job growth in 14 sectors: manufacturing; wholesale trade; retail trade; transportation, warehousing and utilities; finance and insurance; real estate; business, professional and technical services; educational services; health care; administrative services; arts and entertainment; accommodation and food services; other services; and government.

I also have my own business providing Leadership Development (Corporate Training) and Executive Coaching to (mostly local) clients such as Daimler (Western Star), Trimet, Oregon Dept. of Transportation, Bonneville Power Administration and others.

I also noticed these homes are located in areas without reliable public transportation, grocery stores, and bad areas where there aren't any current section 8 attendees.

Housing, transportation, and healthcare are all cheaper in Fayetteville than in many other parts of the country. 

Slabs from the 1960s and 1970s are hitting end of the enclosed copper plumbing lifespan.  

Of course the percentage breakdown of spending, and highlighting that Housing and Transportation is taking up 50% of that pie was a perfect fact to emphasize.I really did like the book and had a hard time finding anything I would change or add but once I thought about it a while I think a larger focus on mindset would really bring everything together.
