Researching out of state markets
I live in Louisiana. I’m interested in purchasing rental property out of state. What do you look for when “researching” a market? I’ve seen people who follow businesses like Starbucks and see where they open a new location. I’ve also seen people looking for states with no taxes, which didn’t make sense to me.
Also, I don’t understand what CAPS are, which keep coming up when I hear of people researching markets. Any suggestions would be helpful.

Low prices, affordable, lots of renters, diverse economy. I like things like logistics and healthcare. Always gonna be present. I also want somewhere I’d be okay living somewhere.
