You get out there and put deals together with your eyes wide open to avoid as much as you can. 

It's a stable market given the medical influence in the city.

I’m focused on growing my portfolio and have my eye on a few markets.

I’ll keep an eye on the Sherman Dennison area.

I'll keep my eye out here in Oklahoma and see if I come across anything. 

However, I am seeing more interest in MTR's and have a colleague that does well buying condos and renting out to traveling medical workers and foreign exchange students.  

I am primarily hosting traveling medical personnel because there is a lot of demand for these professionals in our area and because my units are suited to their needs.

So multiple eyes and local expert providing local cost and input on lifespan.Here is an example that has a part that is more expensive in my market than other markets (unlike most parts that are the same everywhere, so in this case your cost should be significantly less due to both cheaper part and cheaper labor): $1600 40 gal water heater installed (this is good price for a plumber, a little high for a handyman) with expected life of 12 years (i have some that go 20 years and some that die in less that 10 years (mostly rheem die in less than 10 years), 12 years is fair life expectation

I have my eyes on New Haven, CT given its growing population and proximity to universities.

Scottsdale has been an amazing base for me - so much outdoor beauty, a thriving community, and, of course, a strong real estate market.Since you’re diving deeper into your Johnson City research, have you started looking at specific properties or just keeping an eye on trends for now?
