The area has seen strong appreciation over the past few years due to increasing demand, population growth, and its appeal to both investors and homeowners.

IN the NW we have a very large Eastern Europe population Russian and all the satellite states those guys are famous for the retrade day of closing or day before.. they do it mainly to owner occ's who have bought something else packed up their home etc etc.. 

Some investors opt for larger homes with more bedrooms, while others convert existing residential properties to fit more people comfortably, ensuring they meet safety and accessibility standards.One thing to consider—smaller operations like RAL often rely on word of mouth and local reputation to fill rooms, so community engagement and relationships with local health care providers are key to success.PS: Fun fact—by 2030, it’s projected that more than 20% of the U.S. population will be over the age of 65, which makes senior housing a high-demand sector for decades to come. 

Any insights on economic development, population movement and jobs diversity for Mobile, AL will be much appreciated.I have already used city-data for these markets, but the information is dated.

I live in Colorado where I've noticed programs that are income restricted while they have great and important intentions - it's so limiting because the folks who both have a high enough income to qualify for the mortgage yet also low enough to make income qualifications are such a small small % of the population it makes it almost impossible to meet both criteria at once. 

It’s also beneficial to look into population trends.

But the city has risks too: historic tanneries, dry cleaners, gas stations, garages, workshops, any kind of industrial use - always be suspicious of what people did with chemicals back in the 50s and 60s when the general population had no awareness of the damage

I think this city is target to that since population will keep coming due to house affordability (getting away from miami) If you're looking for quick flip , you may have to look for a different exit strategy as different houses here has similar condition , you have some competitors .... you can go either with price reduction strategy, partnerships or use creative finance strategyGood luck

The Carle Clinic is one of the only level 1 trauma center hospitals in the state outside of Chicago metro, the university is a great furnished tenant source, and Champaign county is 1 of the only counties in IL that is growing in population. 

If the owner lives in town, you could even go knock on their door, I find this to be extremely successful when you are going after foreclosed properties.As to your 1st post, you might want to look at city data for growing markets, It looks like Rochester lost population last year, vs if you look at sunbelt cities like, Houston, DFW, Austin, Miami, Orlando, Tampa, these cities saw at a minimum 1% population increase.
