Frequently Asked Questions
Why are Midwest markets often safest?
Midwest markets never saw the extreme price surges of coastal or Sun Belt markets. Without overheating, there's less to correct.
Do safe markets have lower returns?
Often, yes - there's a risk/return tradeoff. Safe markets may appreciate more slowly but offer more consistent cash flow.
