I wonder if those will continue to trend, or we will see a shift as vaccinations ramp up and people forget about the last year??...

@Peter T Kissinger between Kansas City and Dayton, I personally believe that Kansas City is the much stronger of the two when you look at economic and demographic trends.

We have been learning more about the rent trends in College Station.

Linden...4-unit built as 4-units are rare, but not as rare as 3-units...passing the LIHTC in 1950 caused the most MF structures to be built in the history of Columbus in a single year...many of these are brick 4-units in areas like Whitehall or in the 43229 zip code around Morse Rd and 161...99% of the wholesalers in this town are farming trash properties with thin margins...the current trend that is more concerning is that wholesale deals are trading for more than comparable MLS listed deals...so, be prepared to weed through 150 "deals" to find 1 opportunity if you link with wholesalers in Columbus.

If it's appreciation, look larger trends, such as migration patterns to markets you are considering, company relocations, new developments, etc.Hope that helps!

Obviously, how well a homeowner / tenant takes care of things plays a huge part, but I have started to see some trends and averages.

An increasing rental market will generally follow a similar trend line w/ an appreciating purchase market.

You may find variance on this trend with local credit unions and banks NOT selling loans to the secondary mortgage market, but the norm would be for conventional to be fine for SFRs and duplexes, and FHA better for the others.I'm not sure about the homebuyer program, but I hope you can add that to the hack!
