Investing in RE near major industrial developments, TYP small market areas
Background: currently construction manager for general contractor, about to switch companies and take on a travel role where I will be working on large industrial jobs.  For reference, I have a friend working for them &amp; the project is in a tiny town (15 min away from larger town population 100k) with project completion in the next few years. This is a major battery plant that will bring a TON of jobs to the area.   TLDR:  Any of you out there invest in housing next to large industrial developments, if so what has your experience been good/bad? I feel like I will have a slight advantage here as not everybody will know about these ongoing developments. IE: I’ll be “in the know” working construction in the area. In my eyes this sets me up for guaranteed tenants &amp; secure investments for starting out as a real estate investor, let alone it’s almost guaranteed appreciation for cash out refi down the road.  While this isn’t the current day phoenix market, I will be just starting out, and when I take this job it’s a minimum pay of 150k (taxes paid on a third of the money by the company) so if a 3-400k 4plex doesn’t work out it’s not too big of a deal. I’m a single 23 y/o looking to treat my first few investments simply as learning grounds.
