Investor thinks a new buyer can get a better response from the city  simply by "trying to be straight" with them. 

.- Arguably the best location in the city, so appreciation is pretty much guaranteed.- In the past 2 years it went up in value approx $100k without any work.- I'm a buy and hold investor, usually hold for 20+ years.- Being paid off and after all expenses, cashflow is $2,308/month.Here are Investment Returns after calculating rents; taxes; insurance; capex; maintenance etc.The columns are: Year 1, 2, 3, 5, 10, 20, and Year 30. 

As big as the city is there are a lot i assume.

Unless your goal is to teach, being educated without taking action is not going to get you very far.Champaign is a city with great investing dynamics - the best thing to do is get started.Is there anything stopping you from going out and buying a property?

The biggest variable I see people screw up is estimating the OE.

My biggest suggestion is go for larger homes.

**mini footnote:  A wholesaller is similar to a Real Estate agent, but without the fees & deals worked are always off market, exclusive deals.It was extremely competitive and very exciting and I learned a whole lot.One of the challenges with the market in Madison County is that there are many many deep pockets not only in the area but also those that have trickled down from Middle Tennessee not to mention investors from throughout the worldthat are looking invest in real estate just like you.A lot of my Nashville Buyers have been asking about purchasing deals in Madison county for years.Real estate agents that I have worked with in the area say that there is zero inventory and if something comes available, the buyer has to be 100% ready otherwise someone else will get the deal.That being said, I personally think that there is a lot of potential in untapped areas of Madison County.One of the biggest differences between Nashvilles market in Huntsville‘s is that there hasn’t been anyone that has been brave enough to build/Rehab/re-vamp areas that are undesirable i.e. north side.

Major employers are the base, federal agencies such as border patrol/homeland security, school district, city, and the hospital.
