Lubbock is also highly diversified being the hub for the area from Amarillo to Midland, Hobbs to Sweetwater for agriculture production and research (cotton, peanuts, sorghum, wheat, watermelons, and wine grape vineyards -70-80% of TX wine grape production comes from this area-), medical care and research (two top-tier facilities in Covenant and the university hospital), manufacturing, transport (major airport), and of course Texas Tech is a huge economic driver employing many thousands and bringing tons of students in with their parents money (30k+ enrollment I believe, it's enormous).

The sky is really the limit in there.Also I just throw an idea, if you open big business, lets say car repair facility in Kona, you only have few competitors.

being based in Oregon I am probably the only Oregonian that has had credit facilities with all three LOL. 

It is starting to see some increased activity with a couple of larger companies building facilities in the area, and buyers priced out of Raleigh can still find a nice home at a reasonable price. 

The listing agent tells me that the price is non-negotiable due to it having been set by Medicaid (the owner is in an assisted living facility). 

I own one storage facility that is a dump (but it makes really good money) and I want to completely overhaul and modernize it but the prices don't make sense right now.

Quote from @Emma Hustis: I am talking to an off market seller of a 120(ish) storage unit facility in Bonner's Ferry, Idaho (near where I live). 

Mark,We have purchased MANY Self Storage Facilities with little to $0 Money down, with the seller Carrying back a mortgage (VTB).  

But if your blessed with a bank facility like I am and get money at 6% apr on drawn funds it works.. in this market I am competing with DR  Lennar etc.. so margins are tight.. so our deals here are 10% cash into a 350k home.. it cost us 275k to build and lot etc.. by the time you back everything out we make about 50K net per.. and the bank requires 27k in cash up front.. plus the 275k has interest reserve in it.. so we never make payments.

They just broke ground on Nevada's first vehicle manufacturing facility out there to build and develop the Tesla Semi Truck!
