Creating a map for your local market
I am just starting to look into real estate investing. I was going to create a 24in by 36in map of my local market which is Broward County here in south Florida. I was going to add the zip code break down and also the crime data from city-date.com. I plan on marking areas using the A, B, C, and D criteria that was discussed in the rental property book ( not finished with the book yet on chapter 10 right now). Should i try to included any other data? if so what? local investors in Broward county is their a map already with this information that i could send to local staples ?
Thank You
BTW this is my first post on biggerpockets so hopefully i created the post correctly

I found a 60inch by 60inch map for Broward, i cut the map to fit a 24 by 36 inch picture frame and put it behind a glass frame, Added the zip code information too. Its not detailed how i would like a map to be but its good. I have a dry erase marker ready so as i get to know Broward area more i could mark areas i like and areas i don't like.
