The Realtor data is showing us trends that might influence how you put together your business plan.

Even these homes now that were in service for 10 years plus they needed to be updated to the latest trends to sell retail.. so on average I put about 15 to 20k into each one to sell it.End of the Day if I had not gotten the special tax treatment these would have been not so great.. recapture is something to deal with as well.. rentals to me are life time pursuit. most don't have any clue as to what its going to take to exit both in rehab and tax liablity ( unless you 1031) but then you have to stay in the rental game.

Also it would be interesting to look at the long historical data to understand if it’s a trend or not.

Owning my properties in a steady growing Sunbelt area: the trend in the US has been from North to South, East to West for over 40 years now and really doesn't show any signs of abating.

I don’t have the data in front of me so by all means pull your own before making a decision but I’m almost positive that I found Huntsville to be a more promising rental market based off of indicators such as population growth trend, unemployment trend and vacancy rates.

So my key point of advice be aware, cognizant and study monthly where the market is going and spot the trends.

From what everyone tells me, KW has great systems and training/classes and an overall great team culture.

@Greg Szymbor The new trend is to go off-grid!
