Taxes are high of course due to lack of business; I'm not sure what the trend is now, though, i.e., if business is growing.

This trend is very obvious because the home construction market has almost stopped in Montgomery County, MD.

Now these areas have become trendy and desirable places for young millennial professionals to live and hang out.  

a new trend is taking place on the licensure of rentals and this has come from so many suits being filed against the owners of these properties which have turned liability onto the county or city now-the number one hot topic gaining leverage onto rentals is the NFPA- national fire protection agency-the cities and counties are really looking into the code increases and the tightening up of accountability that is placed on the owner- for years the building division in most areas were there to do inspections and make sure dwellings were up to code requirements, the new turn is this is being handed over to insurance carriers and they are really sharpening there pencils and going above the code minimums- owners will have to pay for a regulator agent ie.. insurance underwriter to perform the inspections before licensing the dwelling as a rental- getting rid of the home inspector businesses enjoy

It sounds like you're looking for a trendy area in close proximity to lots of stuff.

Maybe if the farmers used some of that money to buy more trendy clothes, I might be okay with it.

I'm currently under the impression "Subject-to" or "Sub-to" is just trendy lingo, and largely confusing to people on the outside.  

Northeast is probably the mos t trendy for Millenials who want to rent and like the popular bars and breweries.
