This market is growing in demand because of the high level of migrations but there is a new paradigm forming from covid / coronavirus.

Nashville just raised property taxes which seems to be incentivizing a northern migration.  

Yes, at a macro-level Chicago is net migration negative and some surrounding areas are benefiting and will continue to benefit.

You have an apartment building in an area that is showing temporary outward migration.

The great migration has begun.

The great migration from the cities to the suburbs and rural communities has begun.

@Rakesh Dholeh my advice is 1) educate, educate, educate 2) attend your local REIA meetings to network and learn from others 3) ask *every person you know* if they know someone in RE, ideally an investor, and ask for an intro 4) regarding strong markets to consider: look for cities with job growth and net migration growth.

Eventually, you may have some class migration (Class A Tenant->Class B Apartment and Class B Tenant ->Class C Apartment).

For investment properties of course.With that, I do agree there will be a net migration from the coasts.
