Another bonus is diversity: an area with lower owner occupancy rates will tend to be more diverse, so your kids will have the good fortune of being exposed to cultures other than their own.

Tenants come from different life situations sometimes creating a culture of mediocrity.

But in mind that this has created a culture where my tenant is $1200 behind in rent and they are making an additional $618 in fees. 

The "wanderlust"/YOLO culture Gen Z and Millennials have nowadays. 

I learned quite a lot about the challenges of dealing with another culture on this trip.There is a story about an engineering professor who included the question "what is the name of our janitor" on the final exam.

That's not an area known for it's hippie-culture, right?

I've visited Charlotte in 2016, fell in love with the culture, environment and the people.I think this city and ovrall state would be great to do business in.

At least, hold onto your property in CA, so you can come back if you aren't happy in TN.Not only will the weather suck - really humid in summer, icy and cold in winter, but the culture is completely different.  

I think it was partly cultural, and partly to save money. 

I guess it is a cultural thing.
