@Nick Bleser In B&H the two biggest external risks are:(A) a decrease in demand and (B) a change in neighborhood desirabilityIn both cases, your revenue is threatened AND there's a potential need to increase expenditures - there isn't much you can do about it.Apply that to market cycles, and you're assuming risk if a cycle is likely to decrease rental demand ... because fewer people will want to culturally rent, because there will be more supply, or because there's a declining population IN THAT AREA.  

Our general suspicion is that it's a standard relocation choice, but curious if we're off on the cultural waves.

I'm looking for more of the operational efficiency and KPIs to be tracking as well as culture within the organization and processes and workflows. 

Perhaps because of their culture they are trying to pressure and manipulate you to live with them because they would prefer it is certainly not a necessity with all of the services available there.

If you're going to do Student Housing, make it a full year lease (if that's the culture in Flagstaff) or make it a STR, but don't try to do both. 

The property has a 30" bathroom vanity that has deep scratches and stains on the cultured marble top and decent amounts of wear and tear on the body.

Sacramento is technically a central valley city, and up until recently everyone on the coast still considered it one from a cultural perspective.

We also would enjoy living in other parts of the world for a year or two so that the kids can live in a completely different culture and learn a new language.We enjoy our jobs and what we do....it's all about finding the right company and making a difference in the area we live in. 

Charlotte could be an easier transition in terms of population and infrastructure, but not necessarily in terms of personal interest, and culture. 

It’s out at Resident Culture.
