I just heard from a mortgage broker there about the growth she sees in Hickory.

This would be much safer if it does not go as you expect and it would preserve your down payment cash for business operations & growth. 

The Numbers:Occupied US rentals rose by 20 percent above the prior 10-year period.This growth is unprecedented. 

My market has had annual population growth every year - even during the great recession when other markets saw mass exodus, we grew.I am interested to hear other opinions on this.

The population continues to grow and the market has had decent growth in recent years.

.- How is the crime and growth scenario?

That is a wise move for future capital growth.

Things I have been looking for is population growth, rise in sales prices, days on market, rental prices, economic development that may be coming to that area or the perimeter of the area that could cause a higher than average appreciation.Anyone want to chime in on other indicators that they look for?

Please let me know If there are any spots available now or in the future where I might be able to assist in BP's growth.
