Realtor, How Do You Analyse A place is “Good fire Renting”?

[Muoki Musau]

Good morning bigger pockets! New investor and agent here! I have a client who wants to buy a home in Dumfries, Northern Virginia. This is his first home, and he wants to also use it as an investment property. How do you research an area/ZIP Code answer the question, "this place is good for renting your property out?" Do you go on the MLS?

@Muoki Musau this question is a little concerning. A new investor and a realtor new to investment properties. My concern is the lack of experience on both your parts could result in a bad experience for the buyer. My recommendation is seek the advice of a more experienced agent in your local market. BP is great at giving you the basic tools to analyze and understand investments, but real estate is very much local.
