This is blue collar neighborhood and many original owners who have been there since 1950s. 

Bishops Corner or more towards Blue Back? 

Are the IT folks coming more from the Lee's Summit / Blue Springs area or will Independence / Raytown area also benefit from Cerner?

It works best in blue collar midwest or more rural areas where prices have stayed historically pretty consistent.

Unfortunately, blues player Robert Cray sings it best with...The Forecast Calls For Pain... 

Target median blue House/Condo values mix with median blue % of houses built after 2005.

Looks like a solid blue collar area.

The only way to make it a viable market is to break in at the wholesale market and develop your own direct from seller options that you can either wholesale or go forward with yourself.Houston does have cheap lots to build on though, that opportunity is there if a viable GUC program can be found for a new investor (These are like blue unicorns - spoken about but not seen).Dallas is worse than Houston. 

Then, those tenants either trash the place or stop paying (or both) and the landlord wishes he would have just waited.Additionally, with all the distressed inventory, those houses aren't appraising for what the turn-key sellers are selling them for, so they can't be resold to owner occupants or even effectively lease-optioned.That's just my perspective on this market -- I currently work in west Cobb, which is pretty comparable in socio-economic demographic to Stone Mountain and other blue-collar suburbs.Put it this way, I was planning to acquire 10-20 rentals this year...I've scrapped that plan based on the current market here in Atlanta...
