Market values are difficult to get a grip of with how diverse the neighborhoods are here.

Normally when investors have a diverse basket of assets, when one goes down, the rise of another makes up for it.

That is one of the reasons that getting diverse information from as many sources as possible is key to being truly educated on any subject.

The trend toward flat roofs is just silly in most areas (bc it causes water diversion problems, which then cause a myriad of other problems).

Personally I only work in the San Antonio, TX area so that is the bulk of my experience, but it's hard to go wrong targeting affordable cities with a diverse economy.

I'm in Atlanta and for us, location, population, jobs and diversity of jobs are clearly the key factors in mitigating COVID-19. 

That may be cultural to my area. 

My understanding is that these areas have healthy and diverse economies, stable populations, and strong rental demand, all of which create high cap rates and above average rental returns.

You can undercut your employees, your team, sacrifice the culture in order to drive more profit but ultimately you will pay through employee turnovers, slow productivity and conflict management which costs MORE money to fix.Friends, remember this… It ALWAYS costs more to react to problems than to prevent problems early on.
