What would you consider the fundamentals of real estate investing

[Chace Fraser]

I would love to get everyone's opinion on what they think the fundamentals are when choosing a city or neighborhood to invest in are. For instance, if you were to tell someone what the most important items to consider are when choosing a location (NOT a specific property) to invest in are, what would you say to them? In your opinion, what are the 3-5 most important things? For example:

• Population Growth
• Median home price growth
• Major employers/Industries
• The unemployment rate, history, and trend
• Economic outlook (companies moving in/out)

If you have specific criteria when choosing a location that is welcome too. For example:

• Must be within 30 minutes of an airport that Southwest Airlines flies in and out of
• "That town has a renters mentality"
