How to Analyze Markets

[Carson Roff]

I am aware of some of the criteria that you look for when evaluating a market, but I do not have a full list.

I was wondering what I should research when looking into a market to determine if the market will appreciate linearly, what the quality of the tenants will be like, if tenants will be easy to find/keep/replace, and all of the other criteria to consider when looking for a stable rental investment.

I know that I should be looking into job growth, population growth, nearby schools, crime rates, and things along these lines. However, I do not know what I am looking for in these categories. I do not know what percent of growth constitutes strong job growth or population growth, I do not know how highly rated a school should be for an ideal market, etc.

I would appreciate if you could let me know the entire list of what you consider when looking into a market. I would also appreciate any recommendations for books, websites, videos, or podcasts on the subject.

Thanks in advance.
