Market Analysis Paralysis
Hi Everyone! Newcomer here to real estate investing with an interest in long term SFRs and MFRs and short term rentals using the house hacking, BRRRR or traditional mortgage method. Living and working out of California. I've done a decent amount of reading and research, but I feel like I have run into a road block when it comes to finding the right market to invest in. There are so many websites/resources/forums/news articles to filter through when trying to find a market. What resource proved the most useful to you in finding the right real estate market?
