@Gary Erdoglyan Similar to any purchases, factoring in buffer to counteract unforeseen issue is your best option.

They are also the ones creating new jobs in building and construction, and revitalizing neighborhoods that would otherwise sit in decay and disrepair.If this bill could be so crippling to lenders, investors and allied job creation, why did it pass unanimously in the FL legislature?

Too much decay.

Reason for margin decay was appraisals.In 2010 I averaged $15k, average resale price was $78,900, average days owned was around 130.

I believe to counteract what should be healthy consumer hesitancy to buy a house (hesitancy in part due to student debt), banks have been offering unsustainable subprime mortgages.

They are doing their best to counteract this reputation but the kids who came down here in the 80's have grown up and are bringing their children here now.  

Inspect roof for raised shingles, nails popping, vents sealed and in good condition, drip edge secured and facia condition being free of rot/decay.

Yea, teaching can get quite stressful so I start off every day at the gym to counteract the effects.

Obviously, there are still other factors, but things like over-building are less likely to counteract the socio-economic and population trends, as new construction is rarely competitive for rental units.So, the metrics you list above are much more likely to help you determine whether market demand and cash flow will remain strong as opposed to whether values will increase and what extent.The problem is, the property you've been discussing won't likely cash flow at all.
