Long Distance Investing Research

I am new to BP, and long distance investing seems like a good way to start. My main question is where are most of y’all getting your data to find good places to invest? I’m looking for places that have population growth, multiple industries with total population under 300k. Where are some good places to go to find data points to narrow in on an area?

If I lived in Georgia I'd probably stay local.. I considered investing OOS at first too bc of the prices on Maui but ended up being D class rentals here instead and so far that has worked well for me.

But I may go OOS in the future, and when I do I will read Long Distance Real Estate Investing by David Greene. Everyone I've heard seems to agree that's the book to follow.
