That’s an important distinction as I’m sure we’ve all heard the tales of turnkey properties not appraising at sale price.

And before anyone goes for the saying that the market collapsed in 2000's, truth and reality is segments collapsed which created the opportunity for others to blossom and prosper, I know because I was one of those and I did awesomely. 

I attended a real estate networking event this evening in my hometown of San Diego, CA, and during a segment where we each stood up and introduced ourselves to the group, I mentioned that I was interested in doing the BRRRR strategy and purchasing my first rental property in Ohio by the end of 2019 - someone in the crowd shouted out "Mistake!"

I also understand that Detroit is a particularly segmented market, with certain areas at dramatically different price points than others.

Yes, all three might be present in the same property, but all three are distinctly different.Real estate is full of realtors that will tell you the sky is red and somehow get you to believe it.

there is a large distinction between theoretical and actionable, but ill do my best to help.first read, listen, and watch everything you can on real estate investing.

It would be better to focus on segment index that track a subset of the whole market like technology or healthcare.  

Who I use does vary according to the market segment I'm in, and honestly, sometimes just how busy that person is at the moment.

my view is that there is a segment of the market that is very underserved. 

I made a CLEAR distinction how JUST the city of Detroit being 1/10th of the ENTIRE Twin Cities market, Detroit had MORE sale and rental listings than a market 10X it's size.
