Those will exhibit the opposite of an inclined business cycle.I believe that an Investor can intelligently determine whether then business cycle will be inclined, declined or just horizontal by understanding what happens to their particlar neighborhood during the down cyle part of the business cycle.For instance, in the downturn, it is normal for Cities to lose money, and therefore cut services.

Looking to purchase in within the next 3 months in the city of Bakersfield CA.

Northside imo is hipster heaven and getting better every day.... probably the best/most centrally located neighborhood in the city- near UC, downtown, and heavy manufacturing areas. 

I am looking to go through the city and get a permit for it, but I have no prior experience in this area.Does anyone have a recommendation for a good architect/contractor who can help me with the process and get the permit?

Oh well, I'll try to taylor my posts to be more nebulous for future reviewers;)  If you are interested in specific markets, set up keywords or run searches for cities in those markets.

League City is growing in population.

and What can I expect if I go into a house remodel from the city of Burbank.Thank you much! 

I recently started going to a group in the city of Philadelphia called "Philadelphia Multifamily Investors"  (https://www.meetup.com/incomepropertiesportfolio-Philadelphia/events/254362029/).

Key things to consider/evaluate in any geo area: job growth, population growth, major employers in the area (ensure these are permanent ones, f.e. hospital), town/city population size, supply vs demand for housing and what type of housing.

A few suggestions:Call the county/city and try and describe the scope of work to determine if a permit is needed.
