I've seen way more listings open to it. They seem to be very reasonable on terms right off the bat as well.

Hard money can be good, but when I got a couple good private money relationships my business exploded. Hard money costs have come down so much that I probably pay more for private money now, but I can do all kinds of creative strategies that would never fit in an institutional money "box" Working with It's worth working your way up to using private money.

Quote from @Olivia Fowler:
The thing that throws me off is population growth. It seems like it's decreasing compared to other areas near. What do you think I should expect from.this.market?
From the ground here, you'll see that the population is churning. It's getting way younger. Long-time residents are moving out, and many more young professionals are moving in. A very good sign for the city long term. In the next few years that will hopefully translate to population growth. When that happens, hang on because the institutional money will dive in!
