How to how to analyse a potential city to start investing in

[Carol D.]

My investing has been limited to a couple small towns.  I'm interested to start investing in a larger city.  However, there are a lot of rentals on the market in this city.  Are there some strategies to analyse a city to see if it would be a good place to invest in or a place to avoid.  I would appreciate any ideas / advice.  Thanks!  (I am focusing on Single Family Home Rentals).
