One of the first things I did 4 years ago was to join the Rhode island Real Estate investors Group (RIREIG) which has been invaluable as a resource.  

I wondered why the City of South Bend would hire an out of town company for the study until I looked at their national client list which includes over 450 reports for builders, developers, cities, non-profits, planners, investors, lenders, small companies and development subsidiaries of several Fortune 100 companies.You can read the report here https://www.southbendin.gov/sites/default/files/fi...The report is mainly about the residential market potential of downtown South Bend but the gist of it as it relates to your question is that on page 5 it states that approximately 60% of the households in the entire City of South Bend are owner occupied and 40% are tenant occupied.The US Census Bureau data confirms this with their latest data showing appx 59% owner occupants and 41% tenant occupied here:  https://www.census.gov/quickfacts/table/PST045215/...

Welcome to the site @Jacob Miller

I am new to the site but have some experience with real estate investing.  

That's odd that you cant find anything on the county site. 

According to an article that I was just reading on the National Association of Realtors site, "home buyers have purchased detached single-family homes more than any other type of home in the last 35 years.

When you follow up with a phone call to the decision maker, and if the info delivered is really relevant, then I would say you have a solid chance of getting their business.

New to the site and RE investing, but loving the wealth of information that is provided here.

hi Jonatas, welcome to BP  you are at the right place, lots of talent and great minds on this site.
