What's happening here is what happened to music with the ipod, video with streaming, pc games with Steam, etc...technology came that allowed something to be faster, cheaper, and easier. 

@Rich O'Neill Hey Rich, so the sales comp data used by Tyler Technologies are from July 2019 transactions.

:Hi, I have a full time job, but looking for part time income, I want to invest couple of hours every weekend in learning some skills like Electrician,  Tax accountant, home inspector not sure which one is easy to enter...any advise..One idea I thought about for awhile (and then lost interest in) was seasonal tax preparer at H&R Block.Back in the day when we were on the dead-tree standard ("pre Internet"), I wrote freelance articles for industry-related publications such as High Technology Careers Magazine and the monthly newsletter sent to members of the American Electronics Association.

The way mini-split units are designed and built, there’s a lot of technology all crammed into a small unit, so it’s rarely an easy fix (labor or material cost) when something breaks.

I'm heavily weighted into technology and cryptocurrencies and I'm looking into diversifying.

If your town doesn't have that or a big technology companies supplying jobs chances are long term the value of your investment will not do well, in my opinion, and Jeff's it seems.Those who are putting faith in Uber's driverless cars saving the rural areas I think are wrong.  

With technology becoming so advanced to the instant gig-economy, where does that leave retail real estate?

We use great GC's and oversee the process, manage the flow of information and use alot of technology to keep remote investors connected to their projects.  

Also, with Responsive Websites that allow you rent and make payments from your smartphone, coupled with the many new technologies for Facility access, we're seeing them used less frequently. 

If you get into technology and can program you can turn that skill into many dollars by the time that you're 18 so you can get a gig and turn those gigs into your first deal by 18.5 or 19 years of age.
