@Art S.

I saw someone bought 3 bedrooms house art 45k and rented for 950 a month.

I've also continued with my schooling and am about to receive to Associates degrees this year (Liberal Arts and General Studies), which aren't much to me but a resume builder/job marketing ploy... but hey, anything to help my perceived intelligence and get me a higher wage/salary is great :D.

Your Spring Clean Up should focus on these type of community-builders and just the general spirit of making it a nice place to live.On the "kitten hotel",  some residents are really into unusual yard art.

As Chris Lopez so artfully pointed out, the lack of inventory drives price increases (what one would expect) but the inbound net migration continues to grow.  

Not only do National averages have nothing to do with your community, demographics are in motion too and jobs get lost as well as created AND that can vary between two cities in the same County.Setting the rent to the FMR on the day of signing the lease is one art. 

What we've come to a conclusion about is that direct mail marketing is part art, part science.

It's an art and the pros can do it at least 10x faster and better. 

Are they in the area near the art gallery or in the Elmwood Village or are they in the fruit belt?
