I'm curious about the size and quality of a house you could build for $375k. 

It's so bad that my last purchase was in Indiana, which was my first OOS investment, and likely will continue to look there if the market doesn't improve here.  

Qualified applicants that get priced out of rapidly improving neighborhoods will move into these areas but it seems like they aren’t biting.High quality, lower income applicants aren’t stupid and they won’t settle.If you think this area is a losing proposition, I would think about selling and not banking on hope.In regard to vacancy, I don’t consider any area that has average occupancy (economic and physical) below 95%You might pay more for a better area but time will treat you right and you’ll make a ton of money in equity over the long term.

I would argue that they are young so they haven't been burned by bad landlords or even know how to take advantage of the system.

Criminal background will weed out some bad actors as well.  

Which is too bad because in the end, they left with nothing. 

forged in fire is a bad af name for a podcast!

If, any bad tenant could be evicted in a few days and held responsible for the damage they caused.

Quality over quantity. that would be an interesting exercise for BP super computer who has the most votes to post ratio I bet Mike D is right at the top.. then on the inverse you would have the least votes for the most posts those would be those folks that just post the same thing over and over I suspect.

I think I will go find my top favorite bad reviews when time allows.
