Metrics that I find valuable to understand are populations total, home values, household income, poverty rate, unemployment, rate and educational attainment.

Austin has the highest projected population growth rate for the coming five years among the 80 markets we analyze.

Most Value Add syndications seem to be looking at locations that were built in the 80s, Pitched and not Flat Roof, no Boiler Systems, etc in areas that are growing in both population and jobs.

The home is in tip top shape and is about 10-20 mins away from more populated communities (over 100,000 people).

Is this "c" area in a growth area for jobs or population?

Use the "@" sign and start typing their name, It will appear, double click, it will populate the comment box in blue. then they will be notified.

For example, Bakersfield has close proximity to 90% of CA population. 

I would say the midwest and SE markets that have good population and job growth will have the best of both.  

@Coco Cook The appreciation has been great since our job and population growth has been increasing.

The official eviction number currently stands at a high 9,000 per year for a population of 1 million.
