Watch out for the Housing crash Zach,no doubt the economy will be volatile, but housing country wide should stay very strong.

Oil & Gas Activity in Midland & Odessa has slowed, and is most likely a precursor to a slow down in the Midland Odessa economy. 

We will have a flat economy like Japan has had since the 90s. 

Larger parks will give you more economies of scale and better management solutions.  

For instance, new housing is generally priced a little higher because there will be less maintenance, but if you know it is going to appreciate because it is a growing economy and you would have the peace of mind that everything is brand new, hopefully not a lot of maintenance could still be a good investment.

@Woodly Tisme it’s not bad, not nearly as expensive as the Boston market of course, but our economy is also weaker than Boston.

Louis, Detroit and San Francisco.It is a seemingly contrary assessment, given the current strength of the economy and of homebuyer demand, but the dynamics of this housing market are unlike any other — the result of a housing crash unlike any other.

But by nature of a cyclical economy it is either always coming or here already.

Of course this brings with it the need to emphasize "forced" appreciation as we can't count on the economy at large to drive appreciation for us like so many of the larger operators can.

That’s true, at least not directly... but there are all sorts of indirect effects on the economy, no?
