My next target area for SFH investments will be the Coeur d'Alene, Post Falls area which is where many people from California and other “insane” areas are migrating to.

Florida in general has a higher appreciation rate than many other states and a great net migration along with the other things you mentioned.

RepairsThen run for the hills.In Bridgeport, Connecticut and many North East regions we also include Snow Removal and Pest control.Explore all markets but do your research, as to where net migration and jobs are heading.Let me know if you have any questions, feel free to shoot me a message. - Craig

I recently read an article where a metro area was experiencing an out-migration of traditional residents while at the same time they were experiencing an in-migration of immigrants moving into the area.

The best part about Reno / Tahoe Nevada are it's landlord friendly, Real estate taxes don’t reassess on the sale, insurance is low and we continue to have increased in migration, jobs (no state income tax) and our own land constraint issues which prevent the market from getting overbuilt. 

I'm from the Philippines and migrated to Australia and would like to start investing here.

Usually, only heating oil USTs associated with commercial properties are regulated. thus, most home heating oil tanks may and often are taken out of service without any oversight from state regulators.Second- the rules that are in effect for heating oil tanks are usually less stringent than for diesel or gasoline tanks since heating oil tends to thicker and may not migrate as far. as a result, many states just require tanks to be cleaned out. they may also require the tanks to be filled with sand or concrete to prevent collapse. but sampling may not be required.Third- the key to determining if a tank has leaked is to collect soil samples from around and beneath the tank (groundwater also if groundwater is shallow). another quick way to see if a tank is leaking is to "dip" it with a stick that has a paste that turns color in the presence of water. generally, if water has gotten into a tank, it can mean oil has leaked out of the tank (although a certain amount of condensation may be present even where there is no leak so this is not a infallible test).Fourth- if there is currently a tank in the basement, ask the owner if there used to be a buried tank (a/k/a underground storage tank).Fifth, If the tank has impacted the soil, the cleanup generally varies from $25K to $50K though the costs will depend ont he depth of the contamination. i once had a home with a heated pool that had pressurized piping and used diesel. the contamination went down 40 feet and the consultant went crazy excavating the soil to the tune of $400K!!!

If the latter, I'd be very interested to hear how that is working out for you and how the numbers for those types of properties look as that is I what I currently think I want to migrate into.

I often see people on BP recommending that market analysis should always involve reviewing Net Migration – however, I've been unable to find any good sources of data that look at net migration in recent years.Most sites (like City-Data) use the US census data measuring net migration from 2000 - 2010.

On average, one new tower will house approximately 750 people.The Ontario Economic Update 2016 is predicting net migration of 50K+ people each year into Toronto.
