Where do you find research on your market

I am in the beginning stages of starting my investment company and am writing sort of a business plan. I want to include a section that defines my market and shows how the Knoxville Tennessee market is doing. I am looking for information on the amount of homes being rented vs bought, what the temperature of the market is, and any other types of data that I might be able to include on a letter to give to a private lender to show what the market in Knoxville is like. 

Any ideas where to get this information? Should I just look at the main sites like zillow and truilia or are there different ways to research this? Also any other information to help a new beginner looking to purchase buy and holds would be great. Thanks

John

Hi John

Google Knoxville, TN and you will get a ton of info.  Also visit bls.gov for census data.  Google Knoxville Tn and job growth.

Your market is doing very well and you should have no problem raising capital for good deals.

PM me if you want more help
