Small towns have gone bust and blew away, like the old ghost towns in the west, but a larger metropolitan area...?

Where we are (west suburbs of Atlanta), things are pretty much where they've been for the past 6-12 months.

The sun travels across the sky from east to west.

@Sean OToole   PR will rule the information world once it goes nationwide.. the folks on the EAST coast have to do this work with 2 hands tied behind their backs.

I stay out west mostly. 

For example, West Des Moines, Ankeny, Johnston, etc.Des Moines Investors, Des Moines PM, Des Moines Realtors, would love your feedback.

Dorchester bothers some great neighborhood towns like West Roxbury and JP.

So now with prices and rents were they are at and this crop of investors who have it pounded into their brain that a property needs to positive cash flow with 20% down other wise its no deal.. that seperates new builds generally on their face  IE they won't hit those metrics..Now in parts of Texas were things can be cheaper than west coast and rents a tad higher I can see were investors could swoop in and hit the magic 100 a month positive with 20% down on new construction.
