If you have a strong historical capital and rent appreciation rate it might make sense to get into this market and wait for natural rent increases and appreciation to take hold and make for better investments if you wanted to stay local.You could also consider looking for turn-key investments in another city (Indy, Memphis, etc) where the returns could be much better - but the risk without having the ability to drive by the properties could be greater.

Usually 2 to 3 buyers total at that point to pick from.If the seller is not that motivated to sell and the unpricing draws offers they are not excited about they might pull the property off the market all together.

After a year, pulled the trigger.
