Both have growing populations, jobs and diverse economies.

When cash flow is zero, none of the formula's work.But to get back to the original question, diversity is a good thing.As a side note, I took over my parent's properties because dad is in the advanced stages of Alzheimer's.

That's just my opinion, but we've also seen an influx of big tech companies, a hot-bed for start-ups, and a rapidly growing educated and culturally diverse population.

I have a diverse background (Mortgages, insurance, home renovation) prior to joining Keller Williams and think I can be a resource for you.Please message me your email, number, whatever your preference so we can chat.There is a mortgage company in our office that has an investor rehab product that requires 15% down of purchase price but lends up to 50% of loan amount for rehab as long as property appraises out with prospective renovations (always does).

@Fred Ewert I can't speak for everyone, but a lot of people prefer larger markets with a larger renter pool, diverse jobs/economies and growing populations.

Both have solid job and population growth with diverse economies and employment bases.

You can use some diversity to help out.

(In fact, in many larger court districts, "eviction diversion" programs have been put into place whereby an agency commits (just before the hearing) to pay the outstanding rent. 

Excited to get my feet wet in my second home@Jena Richards such a diverse growing city here Charlotte.
