Hate to say it but the neighborhoods are clearly going downhill in Indy since my sister just moved up there.

Cloverleaf (that might be 40216) was a great working class neighborhood 10 years ago but as the old oo’s die off, it has slowly been going downhill.  

We live on a couple acres with plenty of room to do a bit of farming.I've got several Deere's already, I'd need a little stockpile of fuel and a nice selection of seeds and I'm in business.If the economy really goes to pieces and things start really going down hill, I'm pretty sure I could trade potatoes or corn for Gold or Silver all day long (not that I would though).Food, Water and Ammo would be King, no contest.

Water runs downhill & gravity is your friend. 

However, many will never turn down a contract, so you may see a good contractor go downhill fast if too many people start working with him (example: he's used to doing 3 at a time, now he's doing 7, and 2 don't even get finished in time or at all).

Is it coming up or going downhill?

But I don't think that CO residential real estate is going downhill in the next few years.

If the sellers goes AWOL or worse, gets antsy or dissatisfied things can really go downhill fast.

I know you don't intend to do a bad job at managing a rental but maybe things go down hill, or maybe you find out after making months of payments the sellers have been pocketing the money and not paying the mortgage and then the bank foreclosures.
