I'm wondering if anyone here has lived and/or invested in Salem, and would be willing to share their thoughts on the town and/or the market.I'm also curious if anyone has invested in a historic home that required reno, either in Salem or elsewhere.

Historically, we saw a slight dip in property values followed by a short plateau phase and then our values bounced right back up.

I was curious why putting RV's into historic Austin is an act of "preservation".  

Central Florida, including Clermont, is a historically high appreciation market, but relatively low cash flow market.

What's more likely, interest rates will rise up to their historical average or that they will go down and these new low levels will be the new normal?

It is still a low rate historically.

I've historically preferred the university students as they typically come with a co-signer for add security for myself.
