Pros:- Many ways to invest and lots of different price points: LTR, MTR, STR (I know a couple of people doing STR but STR can be challenging) and different areas to invest- Diverse job market. 

A lot of people choose to buy just over the border in Indiana (Hammond, Dyer, Munster, Gary, East Chicago).

Outside of real estate, I am a CPA, working at a small firm that specializes in forensic accounting and attest services.

Heating costs go up in winter, as does electricity due to the reduced natural light and more people indoors.

Hey Eric, I'm an agent, an investor in the area and specialize in small multi family properties. 

I tend to like to invest where there are jobs and where people are moving to********************Ranked: Population Changes in U.S.

I know Austin is continuing to grow, so I figured there would be more people looking for apartments, than houses.

Developing a team across state lines, cheaper contractors are not always best, they cost us time and money because they weren't the right people.

People spend more time deciding on a backsplash then they do screening tenants 

Wondering from people that have houses bought from Midsouth.
