Although I'm not sure that really matters.You might also check with the economic or business development board of both cities. 

There is also no shame in waiting into next year to see what the economic outlook looks like once this flurry of home buying dies down. 

Greetings,  I qualified for a 60k loan from the SBA related to the economic disaster to help my businesses. 

The rental is located in Central Tempe and was pulling in some very solid returns before the crisis hit. 

Does anyone have any ideas on what is driving this strong growth (besides the economic 101 supply vs demand explanation) More people working from home so want to own their house, same for home schooling,  external investors, pent up demand...???

However, the language in the Baltimore City Zoning Code says the following:In order to grant a variance, the case must be made that "because of particular physical surroundings, shape, or topographical conditions [...] an unnecessary hardship or practical difficulty, as opposed to a mere inconvenience, would result".It goes on to say that the purpose of the variance is not based exclusively on a desire to increase the value or income potential of the property.The basement unit I have designed is very important to the financial success of the project but I'm having trouble explaining why it will also result in an unnecessary hardship or practical difficulty other than economic reasons.Any suggestions?

Hi Michael,The way to decide where to invest is to look at the economic fundamentals, which means, where is GDP increasing, where are jobs being created, where are people moving to.

Dallas and Houston moved down.The goal is to help real estate investors, policymakers and local governments understand which geographic areas and job categories will play the largest role in economic growth in the coming decades."

Another way of looking at it is investors are willing to pay 20x NOI in that market, this maybe because the local economic prospects are good and better demographics of people are moving in.

Just to play the devil's advocate...I get what you're trying to do, but a 100% allocation to (presumably US) real estate isn't very diversified at all on a holistic level.I'm a big proponent of a strategic mix of real estate, equities, bonds, precious metals, and/or cash depending on where we are in the economic cycle and what the intermediate term outlook is.
