The market in southern maine and maybe the state as a whole is rapidly changing for your target customer.

I think that the right agent is worth their weight in gold.

As you mentioned, the proximity to rapidly growing areas could indicate that entire region seeing strong growth regardless.  

In addition, things are changing in certain areas rather rapidly and depending on who you talk to some areas are good and some are not.

Below are statistics for properties that conform to this tenant segment.Sales - Median $/SF by MonthPrices have stabilized and started rising again.Sales - List to Contract Days by MonthDays on market have been dropping rapidly since January, indicating increasing demand.Sales - Availability by MonthThe number of homes on the market has declined rapidly since December, indicating decreasing supply.Sales - Months of SupplyThere is only 1 month of supply, indicating a strong seller’s market.Based on the statistics, demand is increasing and supply is decreasing.

After much consideration and lots of number crunching we have decided to try to buy and flip this one...As  tempting as it would be to buy and hold carrying the weight of that much debt for an entire year makes me nervous.....Thanks everyone for all of your help with this one:)

I like to take risk that are weighted towards success.I know of many people who were successful with these ventures during the pandemic but perhaps people who do this aren’t on Bigger Pockets because other than the land it isn’t real estate. 

The eves had to be held up with a beam during restoration so that the weight of the roof did not cause the wall to collaspe.

All of these locations are rapidly growing and since Covid they have been busier than ever.

What a great deal, @Jeremy Weight.
