Chris Rock was interviewed at a convention on Hair care products and he was talking to one lady who said she spent 800 a month on her hair.. he had no clue and was floored..

Below is a quick chart I just ran regarding wages and housing prices. 1990 2018 Average Wage $ 20,172 $ 50,000 Average Housing Price $ 151,700 $ 377,800 Multiple (# Years of wage to purchase house) 7.52 7.56 1990 2018 Median Wage $ 14,499 $ 32,838 Median Housing Price Housing $ 125,000 $ 329,600 Multiple (# Years of wage to purchase house) 8.62 10.04 While on average, the ratio of an average wage compared to an average house price has remained relatively consistent, where purchasing a house is only 7.52 times or 7.56 times a persons wage, the median shows a different multiple. 

I see a lot of the same states on your chart that is on mine it just looks like you need to do a bit more homework and layout your date on a spreadsheet so that the numbers will reveal where best to invest, then you can start building your boots on the ground team..... best of luck!

@Craig DieterichLooks like a home run to me. 35k with no improvements needed and your COC is off the charts.

It's relatively easy for someone unsophisticated (me) to be able to tell when oil is overpriced or underpriced relative to long term trends, not least because there are times when its price is just way off the charts.

The bay area, ca, Portland  OR  Seattle, WA etc are all high appreciation areas..... the trend line is up and this is why these kinds of laws exists , tenants can end up in the cross hairs of rapid appreciation situations. 

Across the board post covid programs have taken a 5% hair cut and makes tight markets tighter.

My other business is owning hair salons and trust me, the day-to-day problems that my tenants bring me are much easier to solve then the problems 110 hairstylists can muster up in their daily lives!

Since this is such in charted territory going back to first principles: supply/demand and leave the debates about how does this compare to Swine Flu or the normal flu to the virologists and the 24 hour news cycle. 

thanks for the CDC link that was quite helpful.. as it relates to the real estate space i think landlords in work force housing in certain markets are going to be in un charted territory..
