Hello everyone,

I'm transitioning out of the military after 11 years and am looking at going into RE investing, which is what brings me here. My question is: with no real city to call "home" at this point, how do I narrow my search down to the area I want to invest in and move to? I certainly have preferences on what I would look for in a town to hang my hat in and where I think I'd like to live, but I may as well be throwing darts at a dartboard at this point in terms of finding a place with a profitable market.

Similarly, are there any references (online or otherwise) I should be utilizing to do my research? I've tried the Googlenet but seem to only find realtor sites and MLS listings versus real market data.

Thanks in advance for the insight,

Dave
