Because the property is in pretty good shape, albeit with older appliances/finishes there might be a possibility that in a year or so, some upgrades could produce a small profit if the trend continues with rising property values as it has in the Denver area for the past few years.  

This is the trend I have been seeing for years, people moving away, or just not going at all.

I use the MLS Trend app, Realtor.com, and Redfin.

Yes I see that as a trend already.

I like new, relatively nil R&M for the first 5 years, I'm in markets where the LT trend of population and job growth coming in is my friend.  

So I have noticed a large interest in co-wholesaling as a new, easier form of wholesaling for some, but I am truly curious as to how buyers look at this new trend.

Are you previewing houses, do you know the average days on the market for your area, median sales price, hottest neaghborhoods, which schools are the best....???

I don't know if you are trying to make comparisons between residential and commercial or simply using it as a platform to better understand the overall market trends in certain cities.Continuing, you would have to ask more seasoned investors in the MPLS marketplace as to what they hope to receive in cap rates for SFH.

It will also show how these factors have changed over the past five years and whether they are trending upward or downward.It's of note that the data is not up to the minute (the article mentions that the most recent data may be up to a couple years old), but thought it was worth a mention as a good starting point for investors who are looking to find out more about a particular areas of the city. 

How then, can we combat this trend?
