Analyzing a Market
Hi all,
When starting out, what is the best way to analyze a market? What are the things I should be looking for? What are the tools that a new investor can use?

Don't overlook the HUMAN tool - a good realtor. Pick someone with the kind of PERSONAL investing experience you want to learn and ask a million questions. Don't pick a newbie, and don't ask someone with only LTRs about STRs, for example. Good luck to you! This is an exciting journey!
