The east side of town is booming.

A few reasons:new constructions is half of what it was at its peak in the mid 1990's creating a scarce of inventorycentral Ohio economy is booming (you can pick up the Dispatch and read about it on a daily basis)central Ohio population set to increase by 1 million by 2050 (already largest city in Ohio, and 14th largest in nation)Columbus #3 city in country for percentage of population in millennial age groupColumbus #1 fastest growing city for millennial population age groupIn short, economy is strong, and homes like the ones you own aren't being constructed at a rate to even put a dent in demand.It's a good time to own property here and to acquire it!

There are many areas like the North suburbs and Northwest Suburbs of Chicago that will continue to boom.

I believe in finding out the sellers motivation for selling.A lot of times they will tell you why they are selling and whether they are trying to get any money out of the deal or not.I have purchased houses with no money down in the heart of the real estate boom with no problem.

The Panhandle and West Texas in general has always been a booming oil drilling area.

Seems many who follow the guru plans about buying tax liens seel it as if mosyt of the deals will end up with a collector's deed...guess not if you have been doing this for 6 years and have never been in this position!

Especially in a boom area like FL.

For example if mass layoffs where to happen - but instead we have record low un employment rates.Here is my only caveat: record boom markets like TX and FL could see some sort of a technical correction and prices could soften there after exploding - correcting an exuberance.

No one can say whether there is a crash coming, how long it will last, or how quickly we will return to a booming market.

A low cb score means that there are many collectors trying to get paid by this prospective tenant.
