Small towns in the middle of nowhere are changed by bringing in employers.

I've got a fourplex that's 100 years old and my tenants that live upstairs complain about the heat during the day in the middle of the summer.

I am a realtor in the Middle TN/Nashville area.

But in terms of actually maintaining the property you need to have some cash laying around to get you over the rough spots:  Thieves steal the AC in the middle of the night, tenant destroys carpet and then moves out, etc. 

I ended up renting to 3 programmers, each with a six figure income and one of whom is Ivy League educated (Masters at that).

Most on here would probably say $100 cashflow from a property in the middle of nowhere is better vs. negative $100/month cashflow in Beverly Hills.

My first opinion is with some of the ivy league schools saying they are going to be online only that this will create a domino effect and other schools will follow.

We're in the middle of a pandemic and putting someone out on their rear-end is probably not a favorable outcome for anyone.As a buyer you need to do your due diligence to find out the details above.

I'm currently in this process while deployed in the middle east but I'm from Greenwich, should be back in a few months.
