My mission is to identify and invest in properties that can provide affordable housing solutions, contributing positively to the community and helping alleviate the housing crisis.

His own financial crisis, the ones he put investors in, or 2008?

Economic fluctuations can impact property values.Detroit, Michigan:Pros: Detroit offers low property prices and potential for high returns on investment.

This preference makes sense because if these GMs are still in business, it likely means they have developed strategies to maximize profits within different economic cycles.

You have an economic interest in seeing that the property is correctly insured. 

Historically RE appreciates even better than the long term inflation rate, as it has especially the last 15 years, since Great Financial Crisis.

There's a lot of macro economic conversations about "bubbles" but I think it's really interesting to compare what's happening now with 2008.  

I've looked at NM for probably ten years and never found anything that would even come close to making economic sense. 

Be sure to have good exit strategy for if/when that happens.A wise mentor told me once that until you've "Battle tested" a strategy for at least 5 years thru one full economic cycle, consider it still all good luck.
