@Chris Mason I don't have stats to back up my opinion, but my local observation is that houses are sitting on the market longer and we are seeing price drops.

I even went as far as to write a book on what I've observed over the years and researched about lottery winners in 2015. 

Not enough, just an observation.

Let them observe what you're doing and then see the results.

Each location will be different as far as what is "better" so not fiscal advice that way, just an observation.

A few quick observations:1- I sense that a lot of nice-guy landlords with way below market rents just got a major adrenaline injection, and are goona be quickly serving 60 day termination letters to those month to month tenants...so not sure exactly how that will help to stabilize homelessness.

Sorry, I have nothing positive to add, just critical observations. 

An observation on this topic.It’s interesting to see how the attitude differs from region to region in this discussion.

Any advice/words of wisdom would be great.I have included a copy and paste of the summary page from the inspection report below in case anyone is interested:This is only a summary of the inspection report and is not a complete list of discrepancies.Section Condition# CommentGrounds 1 Poor grading near the foundation was observed.

Then look up the following criteria:Unemployment ratesPopulation growthAge range population changes Median rent ratesVacancy ratesPercentage of job sectors (says be careful in areas that have one dominant sector +25% bc if that sector tanks it will most likely have a neg impact on rents)Top employers (same as above)The you take that data and observe the trend over the last 5 years to try and get a good grasp on how that area is trending.
