Basis varies more inside Christian County than the average suggests. Nixa is the lowest entry point at roughly $300,000, while Nixa currently models the strongest coverage ratio in the county at 0.81x. When two towns in the same county ratio differently, it is almost always the rent-to-price relationship rather than the rate — the same loan pricing applies county-wide, so the deal is won on which submarket you buy in.
