1. Check vacancy rates in most markets. It might surprise you, though based on demographics I've seen many predicting huge increases in demand.



2. I've not seen many investors make good $'s from this... vacancy + property tax rates are big issues.

Many asset classes are excellent or poor investments, depending on price, mortgage, vacancies, location and management skills. Not everything that glitters is gold, and much gold is hidden in dirty rock.
