My real estate agent told me that Onslow County has a moratorium on new mobile homes (which would explain the explosion in RV parks).

(a) If a condition results from an insured casualty loss, such as fire, smoke, hail, explosion, or a similar cause, the period for repair does not begin until the landlord receives the insurance proceeds.

I live in Austin and within 5 miles of downtown center you are looking at California pricing (hard to cash flow positive), lucky for me I have several duplexes bought before the price explosion.  

I took it again at CTAR again several years after that with the intent of getting my license and the packaging company I run went through an explosive growth period requiring my time and attention.

The big issue I see is the explosion of out-of-state investors who are trolling the Indy market, trying to jump in.

The attorney explained how he is seeing an explosion of service animals at his client's properties, except for one large community that allows all pets and doesn't charge any pet fees or deposits, they haven't had one service animal request.
