Establishing out of state markets

Hello RE Investors,

While I am actively searching for properties within my market, I have been spending time developing my systems and processes with the perspective of venturing into out of state investing. I have began creating my criteria for potential markets based on schools, jobs, population, crime, etc. However, I am looking for different ways to verify my data via technology. What sites or tools are you using to find data on potential markets? 

P.S. I know that BP Insights has some of this too, Please recommend what parts you've had the most success with! 

Thanks everyone!

    It does not matter where you start as long as you develop your Core 4. The core 4 is David Greene’s strategy for long-distance and made up of a realtor, contractor, property manager, and lender. Once you have this team in place, you should be able to confidently invest in any market.

    I know a lot of OOS investors that have started here in Columbus, Ohio
