Population growth, Employer type diversity?

I personally appreciate Lakewood's diversity and I believe that Lakewood has the potential to grow in the next 10-15 years.

Chandler is a more diverse and younger, and is located near Intel’s facility where they plan to bring 3,000 high paying tech jobs into the area… those employees will need housing.

Biggerpockets community is truly awesome through their diversity (buy and hold, wholesalers, bird dogs, commerce, developers, flippers, agents, etc).

Also look at diversity, Rome has Medical, Education and manufacturing.

Im a big believer in that the city must have at least 30k people and diverse jobs. 

It has a strong, diverse economy but I don't know it at the ground level and what the cash flow would look like.

If you are looking to net 120k per year and don't have 1 to 1.5 million lying around to invest in a diverse portfolio of secured, unsecured and mezzanine debt, the fastest way would be for you to be the syndicator or investment manager of a portfolio of note investments.

Hello David, In real estate I think the biggest thing is having a large and diverse network. 

1) Diverse employment (government, healthcare, pharmaceuticals, and many other industries)2) Steady population growth in both the city of Indianapolis/Indianapolis metro area.3) Landlord friendly laws (never tested this myself but I heard it to be true). 4) Decent cash flow and appreciation (a reasonable amount of inventory that cash flows and can reach the 1% rule)
