Thanks you all for all the help an advice.I just had an offer accepted on a property in Grand Rapids.  

Increasing population: Columbus is one of the most rapidly expanding cities in the Midwest, with a projected population increase of over 20% by 2050, which can generate an increased demand for housing and potential for property value appreciation.Let me know how I can help!

I build new homes in Charleston SC and flooding is common there today and they are building more robust flood control and for us new builds have to be elevated and the garage below has louvers so water can run through.. but being on sand the water percs quite rapidly and its gone about as quick as it came.

Also, the need for high cube distribution space is growing rapidly in many markets.

Cash buyers another story.. but many who think they are going to use todays financing models just don't have a clue as to how rapidly things change when lenders change policy from one day to the next..   

In the past 2 years, some areas such as West Philly, Brewerytown, Strawberry Mansion, Old Kensington...have appreciated rapidly that they're becoming A neighborhood in a foreseeable future.

I'm kind of learning very rapidly about buying for rentals.  

(and rapidly getting higher).

Colorado Springs is definitely a rapidly growing city where housing is on short supply, particularly starter homes.

Fathom started here in DFW, and is rapidly growing across the country.
