Location Research for Real Estate Investment (Rental Properties)

[Connor Heffler]

Just starting out as an investor and have narrowed my criteria down. Now I am researching which locations are the best to buy properties. I am analyzing states and cities based on crime rate, unemployment rate, population growth rate, home price to rental ratio, property taxes, and landlord friendliness. Are some of these demographics more important than the others? How do these demographics rank in terms of importance?
