I'm looking an hour outside the hot Nashville Tennessee market, looking at what industries are in the area, job growth, population growth, proximity to shopping, restaurants, median incomes, etc.

Too bad you're not in TN, there's been a couple of times I could have used that kind of industriousness :)

Attached units over the past 12 months were 2,976 of sales, and 8,762 were detached.When asked why the market remains strong, Shaun McCutcheon, vice president at Zonda Advisory, says “job growth in a variety of industries and income levels, job relocation, and in-migration from retirees seeking quality of life, affordable cost of living, good value for housing, mild weather, and relatively low taxes.”The number of vacant developed lots is down 5.2% from the same quarter last year, sitting at 11,319 while quarterly housing starts decreased 11.3% from a year ago.

Our labor costs will drop more slowly, as there are fewer workers, and more pent up demand for homeowner rehab projects, and new home builds, to keep companies busy.Interest rates will keep rising at the commercial level, Austin sees them rising another 0.5-0.75% by the end of the year.It will be 3-5 years before interest rates go back down near where they wereThe rental market is still very strong, as so many home buyers have been priced out of the market.He sees rental rates continuing to rise in Missoula, and says there would need to be a huge financial crisis for rental rates to drop.Austin doesn’t see the construction industry ever catching up with demand, there is just such a large backlog.

We lived there for 2 years and are excited to be returning as investors in the STR industry.

To learn about the industry, look at DNJournal.com for recent and historic sales for those who report their sales.

Buying your own asset like a multifamily, office, retail, industrial will certainly require a lot more work.

My current financial situation is me and my husband have been self employed now for 3 years now as owner op in the car hauling industry.

Things change too quickly in this industry and knowing you have a resource to keep up to speed is critical.

After three years of paralysis by analysis, I’ve finally decided that I want to take action and get into this industry.
