Understanding the underlying fundamentals of this region, I entered the market with laser like intention.

That is what the 70% stands for.OK so 2 things fundamentally flawed with that.1) You are telling me that that number was a clean round 70%?

All markets can go up or down but some have more positive fundamentals compared to others.

Though I did "house hack" for over a decade, own a rental property, and recently sold some land, I had not focused much on understanding the fundamentals of how to evaluate a great deal. 

I'll start this answer by clarifying an absolutely FUNDAMENTAL issue in REI.

I think that fundamentally, we're failing across the board in educating the youth about money, and believe that any kind of program that seeks to impart that wisdom is a step in the right direction.

There are a lot of good fundamentals: population growth, several stable industries (federal government, universities), one more volatile industry with major possible upsides (oil/gas), and most important for the real estate investor, attractive price rent ratios, especially as compared to larger urban areas.The major thing I've seen that gives me pause is that rents seem like they've been pretty much flat for the past several years, presumably following the oil/gas price crash.

I can provide the actual numbers, but think the fundamental question doesn't require the actual numbers..if i'm wrong i will provide the numbers ASAP.

I believe that doing your job is a solid fundamental in good business, and I don't mind searching for people who feel the same way. 

All of my investments are structured properly with good fundamentals so I'm not worried about a crash.
