Its like BMW and other manufactures who make their money on service not on the car that deprecates 50% when you drive it off the lot lol. 

Two repairs can often cost as much as a new unit, and manufacturer warranties can be a headache to use.

All complimented with Amazon fulfillment centers, google, and more tech manufacturing jobs.The bad reputation of “Detroit” comes from OOS investors wanting sub $40,000, D class properties in poor condition, because they pencil out to 2-3% deals on paper.

There's also a good amount of manufacturing hubs here.

For example, I started investing in Buffalo (NY) a few years ago because I liked the stable population statistic along with the fact that a big chunk of the population is in the healthcare industry... along with major car manufacturers having plants or some sort of manufacturing factory there (Tesla, GM, etc.) 

Hello Mike, Syracuse and surrounding area is benefitting from an influx of tech companies and a huge chip manufacturing company, Micron, which is building a $100 billion fab over the next 20 years. 

I currently work remotely as a Manufacturing and Quality Manager for an AI infrastructure company based out of the Bay Area. 

With a push to bring more manufacturing back to the U.S. and more employees returning to office work, there will be a greater need for mass transit solutions rather than building more roads lowering the quality of living if you want that SFH with a yard.

I recently bought my first rental property, it is just a little manufactured home down in Yuma Arizona.

Move as much of that manufacturing South of Panama as possible.
