Mark - to be clear, are you saying that being in the right market doesn't matter, and that's more about finding the right deals? Or that you can't necessarily predict what the top market will be three years from now?

I think you're right Caleb, especially in regards to Boise's performance.
The question is - how much additional runway is there on that type of growth?

Most of these markets are in either Mountain or Southwest regions.
How does everyone feel about these markets moving forward? Is anyone invested in these markets? Do we think they will keep appreciating?
Just curious, what is the source of this data?
Zillow!

This map shows the wide discrepancy in age demographics across the county. The Northeast and Midwest are fairly old. The Southwest and Mountain states are fairly young.
Does a state or city's median age factor into your real estate investment strategy?
What, if any, impact would a more youthful population have on the real estate market in a given location?
I'm curious to hear everyone's thoughts!

People seem to be banking on future value appreciation. I think they could be on to something.
Over the last decade, the US has built fewer homes than it did in the 1980s or 1990s. Despite a population that is 100 million higher today.
This likely equates to a shortage of housing, which is more exacerbated in certain areas (California) than others (Texas).
