I'd like to hear from anyone with experience in this market.

At the time when the chemical industry discovered farmers as a huge market all sorts of herbicides and pesticides (the are banned today) were introduced, stored and disposed of basically into the ground: the farmer did not want to have stuff growing between the barn and the farmhouse anyway, so seemed like a good spot to kick that barrel over.

In my market the current average MLS rent ratio is significantly below 0.5%.  1% on the mls is a unicorn find in my market.  

Study the market.

We’re young home owners and with the way the market is looking we might not be able to afford another home if we wait. 

Memphis is a strong market with a growing demand for Section 8 housing.

are totally different markets.     

I’m in Austin, and while I’ve got interests all over the country, the Texas market is close to my heart.From the numbers, it seems like you're sitting on a solid cash-flowing asset.

I've also seen people who squirrel money away and then lose it in the stock market or some other investment like strips or something . 

Our local market is still very competitive if in good condition, good location and priced right.
