Data to consider when deciding to invest out of state
Looking to invest out of state (LTR)….how do you go about finding data on the city, the only thing I can think of is census data…I’m looking for employment data, household income, job growth, things of that nature to help decide if it’s a city worth investing in…any other deciding factors to look into?? Thanks in advance!!

Most turnkey providers provide their market data for free to advertise their operation. Sign up for a couple seminars, have some light refreshments, and let someone else do that leg work for you. Once you get narrowed down to a few you are interested in then you can dive in yourself.
