There is a significant increase in investors entering the Midwest markets, such as Ohio, from both the West and East coasts.

I can see mid west still having issues with spec lending . 

Hey there @Hart Turner - I am in for sure.I know for sure that @Mariah Pierce and @Princess Subijano-Cannataro are from Chicago and heading down to BPCON 204.Hopefully, we can get a few others to jump in here, too.Elgin, Wicker Parker, Aurora, Illinois, Logan Square, Lincoln Park, Bronzeville, Schaumburg, Irving Park, Lakeview, West Town, Belmont Cragin

Historically some areas of the country such as areas on the West Coast and South have  experienced larger valuation swings than other areas in the country.  

Hi @Karen DiNapoliGood question.In my opinion: it's all about the cash flow, not necessarily about the taxes or the other expenses.So for example, I live in the Philadelphia area and in West Philadelphia the taxes are lower than they would be in the county outside the city where I normally invest.

It was the largest human migration in American history, far exceeding that of the West.

.- Mobile has the twelfth largest port in the U.S. which provides ample different job opportunities such as the Coast Guard, which has a base housed right on the bay, and provides over 1,000 jobs.

I operate in the E coast of central Florida and we have a significant dip in Sept into Thanksgiving, and then stay full for the duration of the year.  

With the large employers (Nike, Intel and others), the west side from Beaverton out to Hillsboro is a great place to invest if you have a long-term lens. 

depends on the asset like the SS i funded for him is a profit share.. the little pink houses in the mid west I have my set fees and it usually if you look at share of profit becomes a 80/20 to 60/40  in favor of my client..
