How would my Texas friends evaluate this market that has been shrinking in population that has had above average unemployment and crime has Lost its manufacturing base.I am betting it has hit bottom and will slowly appreciate over the next 5 to 10 years as the city finds its way.How would you compare it to the latest Hot market in Auston.

They have had a 6% population growth in the past 12 months alone more than any place in the US for good reasons But if you want to get in at a good price, you will pay more now than you did even 6-12 months ago short of going into job-depressed areas already mentioned providing you have all cash because you will have company in your offer bidding.

Hey Jordan, that was Ozarkian humor about getting a drivers license for a homeless guy and had absolutely nothing to do with you really.I doubt there is anyone in BP that has done more for the homeless and low income population than I have and most all of them who I have worked with would have grinned at the suggestion, sorry you didn't get it.You said the property was condemmed.

And b) many resident owners say they are experiencing a better quality of life and community by keeping the renting population down.There must be some reason insurance and lending don't like high leasing percentages, right?
