Extreme examples would be communities that depend solely on a military base or Detroit’s dependence on the auto industry in the late 70’s and early 80’s.Government and political influence can also help or hinder your investment returns so it’s important to invest in states that support businesses that focus on your target asset class and business plan.

With the other property being recently acquired, they are likely going to have to "hit" your debt to income ratio for that full payment which could hinder your qualification.
