Overall, Indianapolis has much more economic diversity and a larger tenant base -- but it really depends on the area if it is a good deal. 

I don't see how prices will decrease given the current economics of the situation.

With a historic shortage of affordably priced rentals and homes for sale, how each candidate would approach this crisis could have lasting implications for years to come.

Also, in the last housing crisis, many banks froze HELOCs suddenly, so that is a consideration as many were counting on accessing it for either new investment or emergency funds but found they couldn't.   

Columbus, OH has great population and economic growth.

I am attending college majoring in Finance and will be getting a minor in Economics.

Bonjour :-)We have a house in the French countryside, keeping it up for vacation rental, a nice vacation for the family and for social distancing during the covid crisis...Quite expensive, but it's able to maintain itself at leastAnyways, I believe you do renovation to sell it at a better price?

I believe arguments can be made that would suggest the 1031 actually increases tax revenues by increased property valuations and generally increases all forms of economic activity which is ultimately taxed -  people who buy properties generally spend more money fixing them up than existing owners who often do the minimum. 

I agree with @Greg Dorn, investment loans have not recovered from Covid crisis, lenders don't wan't them yet (along with self-employed).

When I boil it down I owe it all to one 3 hour seminar I attended in Sydney, Australia back in 2000.At the time I was studying Marketing & Economics and wasn’t really to sure what I wanted to do “when I grew up”.
