Personally, I like Indianapolis and Kansas City. both are strong cash flow markets and have solid economic and demographic trends.

They are paying for a house sight unseen.”The trend of small and midsized cities seeing surging rents is different from in the past.

Things are so crazy a house 1600sqft rented for 2400 and some places 2300sqft rented for 3000 and other went like 1.1/sqft so can't make a trend. 

They base their allocation targets on historical risk and return profiles, as well as high-level macroeconomic trends and forecasts.CalSTRS target Asset Allocation is reflected below: Within each asset class, there is further diversification.

And there is a burgeoning ecosystem of start-ups and other technology companies creating efficiencies that weren’t possible before.There are a number of long-term demographic trends in place that support a single family housing investment strategy.

What trends are you noticing?

The property is "in town" so to speak so utilities are near the building site.Clinton, IA has a number of good economic trends going on with a land based Casino, a new Purina plant and some positive downtown reconstruction. 

Where do you believe this trend is headed: better or worse for residential land lords?

@Ronald Allen Barney-I see a trend here.

I’m curious to see the trends and responses!
