However, I haven't done a thorough analysis of their economic drivers and indicators.Anyways, I'm interested to see what experience you've had since you posted this!

Almost to a person they have been hard drivers and have entrepreneurial skills that are yet to be understood or harnessed.

This is kind of along the lines of the impact driver and drill.

What I have found is one of the biggest problems with small markets is the inaccessibility of finding a good/qualified management company.Be sure that the small market is close enough to a job driver.  

We have to have two official proofs, usually an MLGW bill and a drivers license.  

Going sideways, I went driver door first into a concrete culvert with a large concrete drainage pipe protruding.

You might think about consolidating your RE holdings (getting out of so many geographies) and utilizing that equity.My bias is towards getting good experience and doing something on volume vs. raising a bunch of money and/or a big commercial deal as a first go.The analysis at least for the BRRRR stuff is to look at the macro drivers of a regional economy, and then dig into the usual buy numbers and rent numbers to ensure you feel good about getting on that loop in a certain area.Hope this helps!

If you wanna get down LATE at night make sure to go to The Gold Mine in the Quarter and/or The Saint (not in the quarter... couldn't tell you where it is--- kind of in a Bermuda Triangle of NOLA- just tell the cab driver- The Saint- he'll know!)

Much of this could be driven by the incremental early-September 2017 transactions that pushed from the end of August 2017 as a result of Hurricane Harvey, tight inventory, and Back-to-School effects (this happens every year so I don't know about the validity of this driver however, but it is something that HAR points to).

Most of the time they made your windows dirtier, but they would get very abrasive and threatening to each driver if you didn't pay them.
