Analyzing a potential market

[Adam Thornton]

Hey everybody. I’m brand new trying to learn as much as possible. Ive been listening to the BiggerPockets Podcast while at work and just listened to #17. Mr. Brown mentions knowing the market you are investing in and I have some follow-up questions for anybody that can help out.

I live in a state that I’m not sure is conducive to buy-and-hold investments. However, I can’t know for sure because I don’t know how to analyze a market.

So, my question is what numbers are you looking at to determine the feasibility of a market for buy-and-hold and flips? And how are you interpreting those numbers to make a decision on if and how to invest in that market? Thanks for the help in advance!
