Jobs growth should only continue to ramp up as the projects currently underway get completed and new jobs hit the market.

This begs the question, is the average BP investor jumping into a SFH investment because that is what is available to them based on capital, and if so, that's totally fine IMO... or is there a population of investors that fundamentally prefer buying SFH in deteriorating economic markets for short term cash flow over the longer term, risk adjusted growth of a successful syndication?

Are you going for capital growth?

Would it help turn around vacant properties and will smaller time investors be able to be part of this growth.

Also depending on your goals, there isn't a lot of growth in value, at least not in Kenmore. 

Hello all,I will be looking at a property in a neighborhood that is in a great location for near future growth/very easy commute to downtown.

There's been much growth in the Rio Grande Valley/McAllen area due to many factors and so far I've had solid returns with my 1st 4-plex here, but it was a value add deal with substantial equity built in.

No way you're going to make this happen without investing in some serious runaway growth speculative ventures.

@Symone Wright I would start by looking at the market's fundamentals, that is the population, job and income growth over time.

When looking at the demographics of South Milwaukee, Cudahy and St Francis, they don't really pop on a spreadsheet, whereas Oak Creek, Milwaukee, Wauwatosa, Brookfield have the sexy numbers they look for (median income, population growth, job opportunities, disposal income, schools excl. mke).
