The job market is strong due to major companies moving and developing here like Intel, Amazon, Google, etc. and there's a steady population growth and strong rental demand.

The developments and businesses moving here.

BP Community, I’m reaching out because my 13-year-old son has developed a huge interest in real estate, and I’m not sure how to guide him. 

Networking in various real estate associations to develop DEEP relationships is part of this program.2.

Lots of major developments going on over there with the new Honda Plant, airforce museum, and University of Dayton. 

I actually interned for a company in Iowa City that did real estate, property management, new home construction and development.

I would probably refi into a DSCR loan.Aside from a relatively inexperienced builder and the risk of a development that isn't "established" yet, what am I missing?

I see that you're a developer so if you were to build apartments instead, you might want to look at data specifically for apartments instead of lumping in houses/townhomes.

For me personally, I consider it a B neighborhood because it's walking distance to so many amenities, and I felt mostly safe raising my family there, but not everyone is comfortable living in a developing area.Last year (2024), we moved out of the home and converted it into a rental.

It is important to look for locations with strong economic growth, rising demand for housing, employment, vacation and infrastructure developments, as well as properties that offer the potential for value appreciation or steady cash flow.
