I would also check the job diversity of the city and how diverse the industries are for a little more stability overall.

We focus mainly in the midwest and SE with our investments where there are landlord friendly legislation, low taxes, economic stability/diversity, population growth, reasonable home prices that allow for cash flow but still have appreciation. 

The best areas where you can still find good deals in Tampa.The first is University Square, high in diversity low in cost of living, and it is ideal for new families and young students that are just getting started.

That being said, diversity isn't a bad thing.I'm also a believer of buying something to keep it...

In Texas it is not uncommon to have diversity between developments relatively nearby. 

At any rate if you have a bad feeling about this couple (and the "money business" of the boyfriend plus what sounds like 3 high energy children ready to wreck your house would worry me more) then find a way not to continue with their application process.good points. he did a typical diversion asking if the place was safe so you would think positively of him. honestly some people think that they are able to outsmart everyone. all we have to do is just to open our eyes and ears and observe. 

But there is plenty of economic diversity and growth here. 

Along with the influx of new residents we have the same influx of diverse and high paying jobs moving here. 

We've done very well in most--military brings a strength and diversity to Colorado Springs, Arlington, and San Antonio but definitely are not the only game in town. 

The reason is that there is a huge diversity of jobs by industry that is a huge advantage over any other areas of Texas and other parts of the country for that matter.
