@Rhonda Blue just a question about your above statement. 

I use Joshua Berg with Blue Lion Insurance.

Decent schools, a stable job market (driven by healthcare, teachers and general blue collar workers), and the ability to buy basic SFRs for under 200k make it attractive.

The increasing demand will drive up prices and rents.Blue State Exodus - Almost every day, I read another article about companies and people fleeing blue states due to high taxes or high costs.

I'm finding that a lot of the best locations are where the blue-collar workers are located.

If you want a duplex in a blue collar area you will need about 350-500k.

Blue collar wages are also going up every year whether you use a Mr Electric type service or the local guy down the street who has to charge more because his cost of living is increasing, plus his competition is dying of old age or retiring, which puts his skills at a higher premium than they were last year. (10,000 boomers a year are exiting the labor force, many were in these blue collar jobs.)

My properties are bread and butter class C housing for the blue-collar Tennant.  

The property sold as soon as I put it in the market.2) As I was selling another property, my realtor noted damage to the roof (a blue tarp was covering it). 

People fleeing blue state to red states (New York to Florida for example).All these things drive the market.
