How to Know which Local Market is Best

[Tim C.]

Hi BP,

I am in the first stage of investing which is choosing a location to invest in. I am looking at cities within an hour drive of my home in Oxford, OH.I'll be looking for lower priced single family homes that need some TLC.

A lot of the beginner books talk about local markets but they're not very specific on actionable steps in the research department. I'd like to know what methods you use to determine whether or not an area is worth investing in.

As always thank you for your insight!

Tim
