My CRE mentor has told me that one of the most valuable functions you can serve to business contacts is by being the hub of a networking wheel, i.e. connecting them with other important/impressive professionals who might have answers or insights that you don't.

I am a freelance product manager and work remotely, but being a little closer to the tech hubs might be a good idea for my career if I decide to go back to the grind.Question: Are there any south ATL suburbs in between the metro area and Fayetteville that are up-and-coming?

Location: Hagerstown is called the hub city because of the connectivity and ability to travel within 1-hour range to multiple states and districts such as West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Washington DC, and Virginia.

They require a z-wave hub if you want remote access.

And when the porn robots appear...I use AI to write property descriptions, emails, letters, and responses to 5-star reviews.

Our entire model is based on a few key principles:MSA performance of unemploymentSTEM job growth in the areas we develop thus creating more recession proof economiesAffordability index of rents vs income still having room for improvement compared to similar marketsLow vacancy ratesA/B properties to eliminate as much of the risk of payment, crime, and damages that come with C propsAccessibility (we need solid transportation hubs to major economic hubs which attracts good paying jobs with lots of relocation)If you'd like to learn more anytime drop me a line or give me a call.  

There are some nice ones where the center camera is the "hub" and 2 more can be placed around and go through that connection. 

Regarding tech- The hub for tech is in Chicago city proper, not the suburbs, hence why there is a boom in building new apartments in areas like the West Loop.

I may be missing some vital numbers but will provide what I have at the moment:2400 Sqft, Townhome, 3Br, 3.5 Ba, 1 Car garage, DeckPurchase price: 360k Comp Sales : 390kDown Payment : 90k (98k Closing costs)Rent-o-meter for this neighborhood : ~$210010-15 min commute to Reston, VA, (an up and coming tech hub in this region), Realtor says its a "great area".Monthly Payments would be $1700 after taxes/insurance/hoaI thought $400 was a decent positive cash flow, but I failed to factor in vacancy, and other costs.

@Phil Mcnally - I'd say heating bills are just as often covered by tenants here - and our economy is oil tied - but Anchorage is also a vibrant city that is a hub for the entire state - and locked between ocean and mountains land is at a premium.
