Does anyone work in Marion Indiana? (city not county)

[Ryan Dossey]

I have a potential lead and I'm just curious if it's worth pursuing. Located in Marion Indiana. Any active investors? Buyers? Landlords?

I grew up in Anderson and I used to know Marion very well, not so much any longer. What you need to investigate is what the unemployment rate is there and what kind of jobs there are. 

Investigate Anderson as well if you're curious. Anderson's only saving grace over Marion is that it's close enough to indy to be a BR community. 10 years ago 25% of working adults in Anderson commuted to the greater Indy area for work. Today it's about 35%. Marion's a bit too far to commute. If industry hasn't returned it'd be a difficult market.
