Second, our ADR's are in the range a large segment of the population can afford.

I would tend to agree - Columbus is the capital of the 7th most populous state in the country, is growing naturally (net positive migration), has a relatively diverse economy with many universities, and on average has a fairly low price-to-rent.

It also looks like the population has been increasing in Northbridge while decreasing in Southbridge.For any landlords in Northbridge or Southbridge could you please share some insight on these areas?

I'm open to any 200K+ population city. 

The Charlotte region population increase is over 2%, and surrounding counties like Lancaster and York are seeing even higher increases than that.

.#4 Compile Your Prices into a Spreadsheet or Estimating SoftwareOnce you start to get a better understanding of Labor and Material costs you will want to store this data into a spreadsheet or software that you can use to help you streamline the estimating process.The Book on Estimating Rehab Costs comes with a spreadsheet that you can use to help you populate your own database of labor pricing and material pricing.

Here is what I am basing my search parameters on, would love to hear your thoughts, and I can share my reasoning as well. 1) States with low pension liabilities (80%+ funded) - this will keep property taxes fairly stable in the long term I believe. 2) States with stable or increasing population growth3) 25 mile radius of a 4-year university (10,000+ enrollment)4) Closer to a major (maybe Top 100?)

I like Troy and other areas along the Hudson a bit more, but upstate NY in general is on the losing side of population growth.

It was the population growth of Columbus was enticing, the other cities had merits as being established centers of population(Cleveland/Cincinnatti) though there are good parts and not so good parts about each city.  

If this park is located in a decent metro area (75k+ population), you may have significant upside as a result of establishing new lots and bringing in additional homes.
