There are a lot of investments being made near the stadiums along the "entertainment corridor" like Hammerjacks, and Top Golf. 

In this case my cash flow would get better, but I would miss out on the second half of the equation.More simply put; people can do "just cash flow" but I would NEVER do "just appreciation", but doing BOTH is the ONLY strategy that I will personally entertain. 

You did mention some job growth with the possible Google data center and Amazon jobs, so hopefully we see a diversification of the local economy into non-service/entertainment areas. 

They start with a smaller home, then they trade up, trade up, trade again, and keep at it that way.Then there are the folks that are in occupations where they need to entertain so they buy these homes to entertain and try to get ahead.Then there are the folks that have the money and always have.  

The 4-family I bought through @Peter MacKercher and his team is just a block north of Cherokee St, and I definitely would focus as close as possible to the businesses and entertainment along Cherokee.

In other words, there just isn't any room to be able to entertain low offers.I don't buy on the Westbank either but I have sold a good number of REOs down there.

A few options I entertained to address the flooding included yard grading, a drain tile that could be run from the backyard across a neighbors property to tie into a city drain, and a culvert in the back yard that could be tied into my property's combined sewer system. 

here on BP, and if you haven't already run across it, the podcast is very entertaining and informative and I highly recommend it!
