However according to the US Census Bureau in the City of Mishawaka, the owner to tenant ratio is approximately 50/50 here http://www.census.gov/quickfacts/table/PST045215/1...To also break down the numbers in one line, from the Census Bureau link, the City of Mishawaka has a population of 48,261, a total of 24,088 housing units (as of the year 2010) of which roughly 12,044 are rentals with a median gross rent of $714.00.So in summary, in my opinion, this is a strong rental area with stable economic fundamentals to sustain the tenant pool.

But, ignoring your OWN fundamentals could be very risky!
